At least it was on dab last night. I wonder if the test match will be on sentrack? I guess narrowcast is ok to put on sports like international cricket?

Marko and the Ox coming back after the nature of their departure is something though. As is Finey - if only he was back for good

And SEN kinda dropped the ball that day as well.
Hookesyâs death was reported as breaking news a little after 7pm on 3AW, while SEN had a one hour recorded interview on at that time - Tim Watson interviewing Kevin Sheedy.
Overnight show seems boned. Not on tonight, but the EPL coverage is on tomorrow night.

Enjoyed the SEN breakfast show podcast for that morning. Worth a listen, and great hearing Finey and Ox + Marko feature well.
I had no idea how instrumental Garry Lyon was with the initial establishment of the station either. Very interesting Melbourne radio history.

But remember the old saying⌠âYou donât get a second chance to make a first impressionâ.
Surely, even if they didnât break into that programming, some producer (who would have been there preparing for the next program) could have recorded a 30 second spot and slid it into an ad break with the news and say more details coming up at eight?

According to talk from hosts and guests during the 20th year birthday celebrations, they did report on Hookes initially being in hospital in a critical condition during the very first breakfast show on SEN on that day.
Fair enough, they may have missed his death and were beaten by an established newsroom at 3AW, but itâs not liked they missed the news altogether.

Agreed, I listened to SEN the whole day and they were constantly discussing David Hookes as was 3AW.
