It’s amazing how backward thinking many in this thread are with the content choices of DAB/streaming stations.

24/7 trivia seems like a good idea to me in 2023 where traditional radio is dying.

Better than another “decades” station.

It’s a nice change from just automated music like most of the DAB+ only stations are.

I agree its better then a decades station, but its not really innovative or long lasting.

There are many other choices on iHeartRadio that would do better and have more listeners in the long run, like: [iHeartRadio Dance](https://www.iheart.com/live/iheartdance-6941/) or [KIX Country](https://www.iheart.com/live/kix-country-9315/)

Or creating local Aussie versions of: [The Feel](https://www.iheart.com/live/the-feel-9380/) or [Freeform Radio](https://www.iheart.com/live/freeform-radio-9719/)

After a good long listen to the first few weeks of Disrupt, I’ll definitely say that SEN have hit a niche and deserve to be congratulated.

The breakfast show borders on filling the gap between the ABC and Nine, with a smattering of modern music, and decent, somewhat thought provoking, yet reasonable topics.

Whilst throughout the day it’s somewhat business heavy, it seems to be more of a “Progressive Gen-X/Y talk” oriented station, and one that should definitely be considered as a format for AM/FM.

Sadly, they only seem to have programming Mon-Fri 7a-6p, with repeats ad nauseum the rest of the time.  
This, and the fact that some of the shows feel more like podcasts than actual content, does let it down.

Either way, hats off to SEN, it’s definitely worth a listen, if that’s your thing.

SEN just leases the airtime afaik.

I flipped it on to listen a few weeks back when I noticed it was finally airing actual content, but was put off by awful audio in the section I tuned in to - sounded like a recording of a zoom call.

I don’t think SEN is ready to upend its entire business model just yet to accommodate a niche startup

No of course not but had they kept 3MP it might have been an option in talk radio mad Melbourne. It might have taken some points off 3AW.

Now you’ll need to head to Melbourne to enjoy Christmas in silence,

A tad far from brissie, but would most likely be worth it. Was enjoying some DAB dead air. Suprised it still has the temporary turn off date (8 January 2023).

Is it? Beyond 3AW and ABC, no talk station has ever been viable.  
That crown surely goes to Sydney who had 4 talk station until a few years ago (2GB, 2UE, 2SM and ABC).

The way 3AW rates my point was there’s probably room for a second commercial talk station - in theory at least.
