SEN (Radio)

Brandy doesn’t do Fridays, they’ll have another co-host with Jimmy on the Friday show, Matt Russell filled that role regularly this year.

Matt White hasn’t been on air since late September so I’d say he was moved. I questioned this a few weeks ago because his name was removed from the sweepers for the morning program.

I recall reading Matt White was starting a consultancy or media advisory business so he’s probably left SEN.

SEN Sydney announces star-studded 2026 line-up

Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) is proud to unveil SEN Sydney 1170am’s on-air line-up for 2026, which features a dynamic mix of seasoned broadcasters and sporting greats who will deliver compelling content across every weekday.

Greg ‘Brandy’ Alexander will continue to lead breakfast from Monday to Thursday and will be joined by another voice familiar to the SEN audience, Jimmy Smith. The pair will bring chemistry, sharp analysis and deep sporting knowledge to Sydney’s early risers.

Andrew ‘Vossy’ Voss, one of Australia’s most respected rugby league commentators, will shift from breakfast to a new morning show airing Monday to Wednesday, plus a Thursday show Vossy’s Verdict running from 9am to midday.

Vossy’s move marks a new chapter in his SEN journey, and he shared his excitement about the change.

“I have loved being with SEN Sydney since day one, and have particularly enjoyed working with the breakfast show team and alongside ‘Brandy’ Alexander. The hours do, however, take their toll, and after five years I appreciate being given the opportunity to shift to the morning show time slot.

“My plan is to jump out of the barriers from February and play my part in presenting a morning sports show strong in opinion but with a clear aim to have fun and entertain… I am a sports weirdo, you know! Sydney deserves a great sports network, and SEN has the team to deliver it.”

Brandy also paid tribute to his outgoing co-host, as he moves to a different shift.

“One of the outstanding sport broadcasters in Australian sport … Andrew and I have worked together on radio and television for 25 years. The last four on the SEN Breakfast show have been a privilege for me. Not a harder working more dedicated person you’d find, and I’m happy he gets another couple of hours sleep in the morning.”

Morning Glory with Matty Johns also returns on Friday mornings throughout the NRL season, after SEN announced the re-signing of Johns in September.

In the afternoons, SEN is thrilled to welcome back Adam Peacock to the SEN team, bringing his extensive experience in football journalism and broadcasting to the network. Known for his coverage of Australian Open tennis, cricket, FIFA World Cups and Socceroos campaigns, Peacock’s move to SEN marks a significant addition to the station’s talent pool.

Joel Caine and Bryan Fletcher will continue to host SEN Sydney’s drive slot with The Run Home with Joel & Fletch, a show that has become a staple for Sydney sports fans. Their high-energy banter and sporting insight have helped build one of the most popular programs on the network.

From 6pm, Sportsday will continue to be hosted by Mat Rogers and new addition, Jarrod Croker, who replaces Scott Sattler, who left the organisation following his final call of the NRL Grand Final, after taking up a new role of Director of Football at the Gold Coast Titans, after more than a decade of exceptional broadcasting with SEN. Croker brings fresh energy and insight following his decorated NRL career.

SEN also extends a heartfelt thank you to Matt White, who steps away after five years as host of Mornings. Matt has been a key part of SEN and his professionalism and passion for sport have left a lasting legacy.

Before its regular programming kicks off for 2026, SEN heads into a massive summer of cricket, with exclusive coverage of a huge Ashes summer. SEN has unveiled a star-studded commentary team for the 2025–26 Australian summer of cricket, led by the arrival of England great Stuart Broad, who will be joined by Gerard Whateley, Bharat Sundaresan, Ian Healy, Lisa Sthalekar, Damien Fleming, Simon Katich, Adam Collins, and Tom Morris. Yet another hotly-anticipated Test series between Australia and England commences at Optus Stadium in Perth on November 21.

SEN CEO, Craig Hutchison, welcomed Sydney’s new programming line-up for 2026.

“We’re incredibly proud of the team we’ve assembled for SEN Sydney in 2026,” Hutchison said.

“It’s a line-up that blends experience, insight and fresh energy, from Brandy and Jimmy anchoring breakfast, to Vossy stepping into a new morning challenge. We’re thrilled to welcome Adam Peacock back to the network, and to continue with audience favourites like Matty Johns, Joel and Fletch.

Jarrod Croker joins Mat Rogers on Sportsday, adding another respected voice to our evenings, and with Stuart Broad joining our exclusive summer of cricket coverage alongside Gerard Whateley, Lisa Sthalekar, Damien Fleming and more, we’re delivering the most comprehensive and entertaining sports radio offering in the country.

“I also want to thank Matt White for his outstanding contribution over the past five years - his professionalism and passion have helped shape SEN Sydney into what it is today.”

This is interesting considering he hosts Listnr’s Willow Talk. Leaving that you would assume?

He is yes. Also hosts the Triple M NRL podcasts too.

I wonder who they’ll tap to replace him? Assume he’ll end up involved in their cricket/NRL/football coverage at some stage then too.

Breakfast - ditch Brandy and Jimmy.
Mornings - good move actually. Ditch Matty on Fridays only for consistency.
Afternoons - meh.
Drive - hit and miss.
Evenings - meh. Is this still being syndicated?

Also - way too much sausage-fest going on. Breakfast could do with a female. It’s 2025 for god’s sake, going into 2026, females are interested in sport and SEN has investments in women’s sport. You can incorporate a woman or three into the line-up very easily.

Peter Fegan may have already landed his next on-air chapter following his dramatic exit from 4BC, and it appears the former breakfast host isn’t staying sidelined for long.

Scoop understands Fegan has quietly begun a new weekly role on SENQ’s Breakfast with Corey Parker and Ian Healy, after joining the duo in the studio on Friday in what insiders suggest will not be a one-off occasion.

Image|0x0

Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) is thrilled to confirm the return of Sportsday in 2026 with Gerard Healy being joined by a new face to the SEN network; Ken Hinkley.

Healy, a Brownlow Medallist and Australian Football Hall of Fame inductee, brings decades of experience as both a player and commentator. Since retiring, he has become one of the most influential voices in football media.

Joining him is Hinkley, fresh from an extraordinary coaching career at Port Adelaide. Hinkley played 132 games for Fitzroy and Geelong, before turning his hand to coaching. As Port Adelaide’s senior coach for 13 seasons, he guided the club to seven finals series, four preliminary finals, and twice won the AFL Coaches Association Coach of the Year.

Sportsday returns to its traditional timeslot of 6 to 8pm AEST/5.30 to 7.30pm ACST, airing Monday to Wednesday, with AFL Nation kicking off earlier on Thursday nights to cover the big games. Fans can also look forward to the return of Champion Data’s Daniel Hoyne on Tuesday nights, delivering the stats and analysis that shape the game.

Healy says he was excited about the new year ahead.

“Sportsday has always been about great conversation and insight, and I’m excited to team up with Ken. His experience as a player and coach adds a fantastic dimension to the show, and I can’t wait to get started.”`

Hinkley – who will also be heard on Crunch Time, AFL Nation and Whateley with Gerard Whately during his inaugural year with SEN in 2026 – added that he’s looking forward to the next chapter of his career.

"I’m thrilled to join Sportsday and the SEN family in general, and sharing my passion for the game with fans. After so many years in the coaching box, I’m looking forward to bringing that perspective to the conversation and connecting with listeners during the season.”

Kane Cornes will also still be heard across the SEN airwaves on weekday afternoons, fronting a new show; Locked In.

Locked In will be heard across the SEN network between 5 and 6pm AEST / 4.30 and 5.30pm AEST from Tuesdays to Thursdays, including being broadcast live from the ground ahead of Thursday night football.

“This show is a great opportunity to tackle the biggest topics of the day from 5 to 6pm in my typical style,” Cornes said. “I’m excited to work with a different big-name, co-host each night and uncover their perspective and strongest opinions.”

Sportsday returns in 2026 from Monday 9 February, with Locked in starting from Tuesday 10 February.

Sportsday can be heard across both the SEN and ACE Radio networks.
