Licensed for that but are they switching up higher in daytimes?
Never heard the switch like what is so noticeable on 1116.
The 17kW of 4BC daytime is only in a northerly direction, far from an OD pattern. @gordo92 has described the lobes many moons ago.
For what itâs worth - the (brief) promos have started on air for this, I believe they said this starts next Monday (5th Sep).
Theyâve already changed the podcast header on their site (revealing the name of the show as âGiddy Upâ with Gareth Hall) which is just reusing the old Bensley show feed.
On a radio broadcasting note, I sorta hope it does end up giving them some content to put on 1116 during the summer - Australian baseball desperately needs it after two cancelled seasons. I guess weâll find out closer to November.
It wouldnât be the first time SEN have broadcast Melbourne Aces baseball, although I think it was prior to the Crocmedia merger, and not on 1116 itself. Mightâve been on 1377 or even something like that âAussieâ station on DAB+, which they were also using for A-League coverage at the time.
According to Herald Sunâs Scott Gullan, 1116 SEN is set to tinker with its breakfast line-up next year with Garry Lyon and Tim Watson to only appear on three days per week. The plan for 2023 is to have Lyon fall in line with Watsonâs current roster (Tuesday-Thursday) with a different pairing for Monday. Lyon and Nathan Buckley currently host Mondayâs show with Kane Cornes and David King on Fridays.
SEN will provide dedicated commentary for all home games of Kings, Wildcats, 36ers and JackJumpers for the upcoming NBL season.
So much for their big headline a while back boasting how theyâve secured Gary & Tim for some time yet.
I wonder why the experiment with such a prime time slot?
Probably canât afford them five days a week.
Rotating hosts during a week doesnât fit with the survey methodology so SEN will slide further to irrelevance. Good.
IndeedâŚGoodâŚthe quicker the better
I heard the audio on the 7.30am news on 3AW today. Scary stuff. Glad she is OK.
Nine has the police statement:
Police said a group of âat leastâ five men pulled up alongside the footballerâs car in a VW Passat on Temple Street in Coorparoo.
âThe males attempted to open the door, with one of them producing a knife and yelling at the woman through the closed driverâs side window,â a statement said.
"They were unable to gain entry as the vehicle was locked and returned back to the VW Passat before leaving onto Bennetts Road. "
This is a fairly settled, suburban area of the city. Perhaps some property crime in vicinity of the railway station but not this.
I heard Karl Stefanovic talking about this on Today and he mentioned a recent spike of similar crime in the area. Very scary stuff - great to hear sheâs ok.

UPDATE 29/9
Queensland Police this morning confirmed they had charged a 14-year-old boy in relation to the alleged attempted armed robbery.
âAt approximately 8pm last night detectives located a teenage boy at a Goodna address where he was arrested without incident,â police said.
âThe 14-year-old boy has been charged with multiple offences, including three counts of armed robbery, two counts of unlawful use of a motor vehicle, and one count each of burglary and attempted enter dwelling with intent.â
He is expected to appear in the Brisbane Childrenâs Court.
I mean, who wouldnât be happy investing $12m on a station rating 9.4 per cent, and dropping it down to 0.4 per cent in its first ratings?
Shareholders would surely be pleased. Surely�
Yes what a joke.
âBuilding from the ground upâ for sure. He just doesnât realise 0.4% is about as high as it will go. And for all the SEN fans who say they donât need ratings (i.e. people listening), why bother buying a station then?
When is the house of cards going to fall. A company with dud stations on both sides of the Tasman now.
theyâll be looking for a pay day soon! Good luck with that
Isnât the âgroundâ of 693AM at 9.4 per cent?
Iâd argue that SENZ should on paper have a lot of potential, given that NZME abandoned RadioSport and left that market wide open.
If they could pinch Cricket from Today FM and/or Rugby from Gold Sport it would be a massive help. They probably should not have gone with the SEN brand though, itâs a niche brand even in Australia outside of Melbourne.
As far as Australia goes, they really havenât been helped by the archaic closed-shop protectionist radio licencing model. This has meant that in order to expand they have had to buy out (at a big $ premium) and close stations that were already very popular and change formats, and getting off on the wrong foot with listeners in these areas as a result. If they had been able to put the general sport format on narrowcast licences both SEN and the listening public would have been much better off.
Cricket has one year left on its deal, rugby 3 and a half. SENZ was already on the market and NZR didnât want to go with them.
Dud stations run by a dud owner.
