AM frequency has just significantly reduced power:

So this is SEN programming music? I suppose playing All Star might well get the listeners to flick off KQ before they even reach the sports content.

That final few hours was some good radio, though odd choice of last song.

tamago_otoko · June 30, 2022, 2:09pm

Seemed to be having some audio issues in the changeover, volume dropped right down and is still low. I guess they’ve got six hours to get it right.

Playing generic music with an SENQ promo with Pat & Heals between tracks now.

MichaelPower · June 30, 2022, 2:10pm

and there we go… the first SENQ promo

TelevisionAU · June 30, 2022, 2:10pm

any idea why they’d be doing that?

Moe · June 30, 2022, 2:11pm

Electricity isn’t cheap, SEN have to make the station profitable somehow…

glen2006 · June 30, 2022, 2:12pm

The music still appears to be generating from the ARN side of things, as the stream is still running on iHeartRadio featuring the songs just recently played listed.

TV.Cynic · June 30, 2022, 2:12pm

It’s back up to full power again now.

4KQ website seems to be down

glen2006 · June 30, 2022, 2:13pm

I think you’ll probably find it’s been shutdown. The previous sister station 97.3 and all other ARN sites are still operating.

About_time · June 30, 2022, 2:15pm

nothing on iheart either

TV.Cynic · June 30, 2022, 2:15pm

The last song on the station was a cut down version of The End by The Beatles.

webguy · June 30, 2022, 2:17pm

The music is also on the SENQ stream and in the SEN broadcast guide. I think SEN are sending their audio to 4KQ (likely for redundancy as the feeds at the transmitter are changed in due course). I heart radio smart enough to automatically recognise the songs? I think it would be.

Moe · June 30, 2022, 2:19pm

Unless it’s something they launch tomorrow, surely you’d just redirect to the 97.3 website or the iHeart homepage than go dead?

I suppose we’ll find out just how much 4KQ that SEN bought - maybe it’ll redirect to SEN instead.

Also, is it just me or is Playing to win being played way too fast?

TheStyles83 · June 30, 2022, 2:19pm

At 6:00a.m. SENQ Officially lifts off.

Dan_J · June 30, 2022, 2:21pm

The End by The Beatles followed and then Eye of the tiger but I think that was provided by SEN who seem to be playing music until they start their regular programs at 6 am. It’s not 4KQ type music.

TV.Cynic · June 30, 2022, 2:22pm

Definitely seem to be having problems getting the input into the AM transmitter correct.

TV.Cynic · June 30, 2022, 2:22pm

The End was followed by the crickets so it was from 4KQ. Then a pause before the SEQ music started.

TV.Cynic · June 30, 2022, 2:26pm

DAB is a bit of a mixture -

Dan_J · June 30, 2022, 2:32pm

Still says 4KQ Good times & Great classic Hits on iheart. Do SEN continue using it or will they get their own?
