Waratahs is supposedly on 1377 this week according to their online schedule but they’re not always right.
With all the rights Crocmedia are buying, is there anything that’s left for them to actually purchase in the market, and how much would they spend on countering a company that supplies it so much content?
If MSR is to go forward, surely that has to be in cooperation with SEN - not trying to actually compete? They are essentially running dead already, so being ‘SEN2’ in Melbourne isn’t likely to be much of a backwards step and would be far cheaper.
Down to the point of 2SM carrying an SEN digital station, or just that 2SM will be carrying a lot of SEN content?

I was actually wondering if the prospect of a full Sydney version of SEN on AM radio at some point in the future was an entirely unrealistic one.
It would come down to economics, and somehow snagging rights to an NRL game or two, and even then there’d likely be a lot of networked programming (Whateley for instance) from Melbourne.
Great suggestion. Offload MSR Melb to EON and keep MSR Syd and Bris and rebrand to SEN.
Highly doubt it’d ever happen though.

Nick will appear on 1116 SEN breakfast every Monday morning beginning Feburary 25 and will co-host the show for a number of weeks in July, on Gerard Whateley’s mornings show on Thursdays, and SEN SA breakfast show during the year.
I was going to say something about you misspelling February but it turns out it is Crocmedia who did that!
Be interesting to see if they actually announce who is working for them calling footy or whether they just randomly drop names.

Noticed billboards at the Gabba last night for the Lions v Port game promoting the SEN 1116 app, spruiking crystal clear coverage of the game. Interestingly it was definitely promoting the Melbourne 1116 station, despite the game featuring a Queensland team playing a South Australian team. Maybe trying to score a few extra listeners from up north?

possibly some people were fooled into thinking that 4BC became SEN?

Funny, considering MSR 882 was taking the SEN call.
Maybe that was what the ‘crystal clear’ line was aimed at - why listen on AM radio when you can get it digitally streaming?

If you are at the game the AM would be live as you are watching but the stream would be delayed?

Technically it’s not SEN’s call, it was AFL Nation.

It’s because Crocmedia now offer their calls through the SEN app, giving them a way around having to take the stream offline when there is an AFL game on SEN. Yes, slight delay.
Craig is delusional, he knows full well that streaming is not a patch on broadcast mediums. Want to be heard in Brisbane, lease DAB+ spectrum and do business right.
Really though? More people stream than have dab surely
Just had a quick look at today’s ‘what’s on’ post on the SEN website and found this little note:
SEN 2 launches today!
Sports lovers now have another network to listen to! Stay tuned to the SEN website to see what’s coming up on the station.
From Radioinfo:
To celebrate Australia’s favourite super horse Winx’s anticipated final race on Saturday, 1377 SEN+ will be rebranded 1377 Winx+ for a special whole-day takeover at The Championships Day 2 - Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Sydney’s Royal Randwick Racecourse.
