Try maybe emaiing Sam Bingley about this
Didnât have time to check on my PC based receiver, but after a rescan of my radio it was still showing up as ClassicRockRadio.
Didnât expect them to be literally simulcasting, hope that the ACMA can actually show some teeth and put a stop to that.

Itâs not a direct simulcast. Seemed to have different ads and SEN+ program promos. Also different traffic/weather segments at different times to SEN. When SEN breakfast this morning went to a Sportsbet update SEN+ was running traffic updates for example.
Trying to get around the rules I guess.
The amount of Advertising propaganda for it on SENâs website is astounding!
Also it looks like someone designed the banners on Microsoft Word or Powerpoint!

Keep us up to date if you get a reply from them 
Was announced Friday morning that Meredith Gibbs (I believe she has worked in tv but the name is unknown to me) will be reading news during Breakfast. Iâm unsure if it is only breakfast or not though.
EDIT: Gibbs just did the 10am news, so Iâm none the wiser. Just aware that itâs more than breakfast. And is quite solid as a newsreader.
EDIT x2: Stephanie Hobbs has taken over from Gibbs at noon. So it seems that the use of Macquarie News has been heavily downsized.

Could 2CH in Sydney Follow Suit and go all Christian Talk, an US Format?
Yeah, she used to be a reporter for NBN News in Newcastle. A fairly recent addition to the SEN newsroom, if Iâm not mistaken.
Eww, I hope not.
Although the station has its problems, itâd be better if 2CHâs current format of (mostly) âEasy Classicsâ could be retained for as long as possible so Sydney has at least one music-based station on AM! That and because thereâs songs being played on 2CH that Sydneyâs FM stations have long abandoned.

Hopelly PSN/Crocmedia will put SEN+ in the radio ratings since I would like to see how SEN 1116, SEN+ 1377 and MSR go
Just flicked it on again and SEN+ appears to be replaying parts of Gerard Whateleyâs program from this morning while SEN has regular KB and The Doc on.
Yes, the two were hired very recently. Today was the first day that SEN hadnât relied heavily on Macquarie News to fulfil that service. Stephanie Hobbs is also quite good, not as good as Gibbs, but still a worthwhile addition.

Still using Macquarieâs Newsmaker service though.
Even half hour news bulletins today too on both SEN and SEN+ I think.

Would the news bulletin changes be due to MSR (Syd + Bris) doing half hour updates during breakfast? Not sure if MSR Melb is doing the same.

Yes, been doing half hourly bulletins. And as far as I could tell, SEN+ has been a simulcast of SEN today, so obviously the bulletins have been on both!

Nope. Not a full simulcast. See my previous posts.

They did say there would be catch up radio. Outside of live sport, unless theyâre going to develop new programming, itâs a waste of time. When I was listening today, it was a simulcast, aware it wonât be all the time.
