Former trade minister, Liberal Party president, and Kerry Packer adviser, Andrew Robb, has been appointed as a non-executive board member at Ten Network Holdings as Gina Rinehart's representative.

Andrew Lancaster will also join the board as a non-executive director representing elusive billionaire Bruce Gordon, who now owns 14.6 per cent of the network.

Ten shares closed 4.8 per cent or 4.5 cents higher at 98 cents. The rest of the market was flat.

The network now has six board members, including one for 14.9 per cent shareholder Foxtel, one representative of Lachlan Murdoch, one each of Ms Rinehart and Mr Gordon, and two independent directors, including chair David Gordon and Paul Gleeson, who has been on the board for nearly 20 years.
