jeez things are tight at 3MP, those are some long shifts.
Long shifts maybe but the best music station in Melbourne!
Listened to Rodney Hoggâs segment on the Run Home on Tuesday via a podcast the interaction between the new hosts Mark Allen and Daniel Harford wasnât too flash meaning that show may struggle in 2016.
Meanwhile at 1116 M-E-N
Strong rumor hutchy and Pickering to get sacked from SEN. Hope it's true. Worst radio in Melbourne.

Take that tweet with a grain of salt since it followed both the men criticizing Robbo for how heâs been covering the Garry Lyon story on their radio show this morning

2nd time Iâve heard this rumourâŚ
Pacific Star Network have announced a 40% increase in revenue, for the half year to December 31st. In addition to their two AM and two DAB+ stations in Melbourne, the group also publish 7 print publications.
More at the Pacific Star website.
Always thought that PCN would be a great takeover target as their 2 AM stations could be made into a real threat to Fairfax in Melbourne. A competitive am music station and SEN which could be flipped to talk & sports with live afl.
Itâs Macquarie (rather than Fairfax) now, remember TVHead? 
Of course, I agree that Pacific Star could be a potential takeover target if the âtwo station ruleâ was dropped.
meh Fairfax controls the show really
From Radio Today: "Pacific Star Network, who operate SEN and MyMP in Melbourne, have announced the abrupt departure of their recently appointed Group CEO George Papadopoulos.
Papadopoulos was appointed in January this year to a 3-year term, with a 6-month probation period."
1116SEN have appointed a Sydney Sales Manager. Interesting.
Could we see 1170SEN Sydney? Maybe they could make a slightly different format of sport and music, or do a deal with MRN and shift NRL from GB to 1170AM?
Just another âout thereâ SEN theory.
I wouldnât get too excited, it sounds like itâs more just to deal with Sydney based clients advertising in Melbourne.

Suggestions for SEN Programming in 2017;
- Breakfast with Frank & Ox is progressing nicely move them to 5:30am-8:30am in line with 3AW, ABC 774 & RSN.
- Mornings with KB consistant as ever start him at 8:30am in line with Neil Mitchell and Jon Faine.
- Afternoons 12noon-3pm Needs a New Presenter from outside the station and itâs needs new contributors from outside the station a total overhaul.
- Drive 3pm-6pm Mon-Fri with Daniel Harford, 3pm-4:30pm needs a total overhaul.
- 6pm-7pm Take the Sportsday program from Crocmedia.
- Evenings with Finey in present time slot though contributors and format needs an overhaul.
- Off the Bench this program is totally unacceptable in the current era. Consindering the ABCâs current budget constants poaching the Coodabeen Champions is very realistic. Saturday 9am-12noon.
- AFL Coverage produce inhouse 1 game per calendar day with same 2 commentators, same 2 expert commentators across the weekend and 1 boundary reporter. Then other games throughout the weekend take the AFL Live coverage from Crocmedia.

[/quote]How does this differ from their current setup? Donât they already produce some games themselves?
Brigitte Duclos is now reading the news on SEN Breakfast. Havenât seen any media reports about this but she started yesterday (Monday 18/7).
Didnât they close their newsroom?
