So the Camplins have cashed out of that too?
Both Kev and the Camplins were directors of this three way piece of typical Australian commercial radio protectionism.
Janet and family, desperate to limit direct competition, alerts her present and former JV partners to acquire and lease the licence to RSN to keep out AM competition. A joke if it wasn’t so serious. This outdated thinking is pinning radio to the past.
Can someone tell me how & why Tim Webster is wasted on 2CH DAB+ still these days?
He’s a much respected announcer who surely deserves a better role.
I’m hoping ACE read this & put him on 2UE along with George & Paul.
Agree. Totally wasted talent. Kinda surprised SEN don’t use him in some Sports capacity. He was the Sports face of Ten News Sydney for many years and presented Sports Tonight.
A 6pm Sports Tonight type show on SEN would be great.
What exactly is a “Sports Tonight type” show though? Is it basically what SEN already produce in the various flavours of Sports Day which is already at 6pm?
A post was merged into an existing topic: SEN (Radio)
I’d presume that’s what’s meant… although in Melbourne of course, Sportsday is still on 3AW, not SEN.
That might change if 3AW (and 6PR) go down the path of their Sydney and Brisbane cousins and do an inhouse WWOS-branded sports show, of course - but whether Nine are as keen to do that in AFL states (where their competitors own TV rights) is an open question, though.
When will his cashflow, loans and other funding sources run out? If at all? Is the SEN business sustainable medium and long term?
Considering the ratings for SEN Sydney, I hope there’s very deep pockets.
At least Sky Sports Radio has endless gaming and thoroughbred money and will make sure they outlast SEN.
The audio is horrible on SEN 1170 am now. Will try some other radios.
What on earth does SEN 1170 broadcast on New Years Eve?
If it were me, I’d just play reruns of Off The Bench, or the Golf Show or similar.
BBL?
As Ove said I have absolutely no idea why they aren’t promoting the station, a lot of sports fans don’t even know it exists.
It’s never going to rate massively being a sports station but the figures are horrid.
SEN 1170 simulcasts their Sports to BOG, which I Think Caralis shall Put Classic Hits on the 1269 Frequency as They’ll sound similar.
Bill will increasingly put whatever is cheapest and basic on 1269 2SM (the icon John Laws apart who is in a class of his own and is their only true talk network asset) as it descends ever lower as a relay for 2HD. Just as long as SEN stick to sports (as in Sports Entertainment Network) and get out & keep out of areas they know Absolutely Nothing about … for example Music Radio. Surely SEN cannot keep pretending they can understand music radio programming?
According to Herald Sun, SEN has bought WNBL team Bendigo Spirit to go with NBL team the Perth Wildcats, and both men’s and women’s Otago Nuggets team in the NZNBL.
Why?
Because it’s an investment.
SEN has won its first AACTA award, the Audience Choice Award for best sports program, for AFLW review show Women’s Footy on Nine.
