SEN’s exclusive radio coverage of Big Bash League returns tonight when Sydney Thunder take on Melbourne Stars in Canberra to open the 2022/23 season. Interestingly, the match will be broadcast in Sydney on SENTrack 1539 rather than SEN 1170, and there is no broadcast available on analogue radio in Canberra at all (it can be heard via the SEN app or Cricket Australia Live app).

It was on SEN Track last night on dab as well , tonight its on 1170 maybe the sixes are a bigger rating winner?

Well they are a Sydney team…
Then why were Thunder and Sixers treated differently given they are both based in Sydney?
This week, the first games for Melbourne Stars and Melbourne Renegades are both broadcast in Melbourne on SEN 1116, not SENTrack.

The indoor reception of SENTrack on the AM Band isn’t good at Pennant Hills. I think need to be at Carlingford to start getting reasonable reception.
One feedback of the coverage I find the crowd levels too high, that is when I tuned in last night.

I saw that was the case, no idea why but it’s the last week of the shows on SEN so I would hope this changes next week.
The current cricket match isn’t on SEN ie Stars vs Hurricanes.
Was for me earlier on 1116 at 5

SEN 1170 isn’t bringing the cricket tonight. Just the best of morning glory. All other SEN main station have the cricket. It is on SENTrack Sydney 1539 AM.
Wonder why this is, again with a sydney team playing

I’d say so. Although they went to Pakistan for Australia earlier this year.
They did. Although I think SENZ originated cricket (outside of England tours when they did an Aussiefied version on the ground) has so far been off tube.

Good stuff. They should get it on SEN Fanatic so that you can hear it on dab as well. Given SEN 1170 has Australia vs SA game.
