This makes sense now, the one day I was actually trying to listen to SEN on analog radio and couldn’t find it. Just figured the signal was weak and I put on 3AW instead that afternoon. ---

As if there are not enough sport radio stations in Melbourne, today Jon Anderson wrote in his Sunday Herald Sun column that SEN is considering using 1377 as the second station. He suggested that SEN would concentrate on the AFL while 1377 would cover general sports. ---

He suggested that SEN would concentrate on the AFL while 1377 would cover general sports. If that’s to be the case, then Melbourne would be left without having a single commercial AM music station, in which all of them are on FM. It would mean the end of Classic Rock Radio, but the format is already well covered by Triple M Classic Rock Digital, which is available on DAB+. ---

Surprised they didn’t make this change at the start of 2018, actually. On the other hand, this makes Melbourne the first market to have four commercial sports radio stations, all on AM radio - and that’s before you even consider ABC Grandstand or the AFL commentary on Triple M. If this does come to fruition, what I forsee them doing is simulcasting the main show schedule (Breakfast, Mornings, Afternoons, Drive, Nights) on 1116 and 1377 (SEN 2?), but splitting off for AFL coverage. One would expect the one VFL match each round broadcast on Aussie to move to 1377, as could some of the Saturday afternoon AFL Nation matches where the first half clashes with the last quarter of an earlier game. ---

> [@JohnsonTV](#): > > He suggested that SEN would concentrate on the AFL while 1377 would cover general sports. Craig won’t have much to crow about on survey day by splitting the audience. Are they not interested in selling airtime based on surveys? What alternative benchmark do they have? Shareholders should be concerned about this. > [@TelevisionAU](#): > > So that will just split the existing SEN audience across 2 stations? What’s the point? And really is there enough content for a SEN 2.0 ? Of course not, very expensive folly. Too many good personalities on 2UE at the one time pre 2002, better split the station? So much great music and shows getting the ratings on FOX, better split the station? Neither would seriously be considered. ---
