Network 10 has called on Prime Minister Anthony Albanese for 'urgent' assistance following recent reports of 'serious turmoil'.
On Wednesday reports emerged that Mildura Digital Television, a Network 10 affiliate owned by Seven West Media and WIN Corporation, will be shutting down the channel from June 30.
Residents will no longer have access to Channel 10 or its BOLD and Peach channels.
And now the network has called on Albanese to intervene, reports TV Tonight.
'We're bitterly disappointed that regional TV operators are being put in a position that they need to take this action,' a Network 10 spokesperson told the publication.

'The Federal Government must act urgently to ensure the Network 10 affiliated channels can continue to be available via broadcast transmission,' they continued.
'Regional Australians, including residents around Mildura, love our iconic and award-winning Australian shows such as MasterChef Australia, Have You Been Paying Attention?, Gogglebox and The Cheap Seats to name just a few.'
'We urge the Prime Minister to urgently intervene and save these regional TV broadcasts,' they added.
