SEN has picked a good team for their cricket coverage.

I agree the 2 ladies are a good selection. Havenât heard Huddo do cricket for years but heâs great at everything else. Rest is very meh personally.

So Whateley and Katich come from the ABC. I also believe Mel Jones also did some ABC coverage of the womenâs ashes last year. Fleming comes from Macquarie.
Everyone else are new recruits and fresh voices for cricket on the radio.

Heverin went to RSA when SEN did that, was vanilla.
Jones and Sthalekar have both worked previously for the ABC I think.
It just comes across as a very pompous and boring commentary team led by self proclaimed captain, Gerard Whateley. Probably wouldnât be to out of place on the ABC actually.

Crocmedia will also broadcast the next two Super Bowls as part of the expanded deal with the NFL. I assume Crocmedia will relay Westwood Oneâs broadcast?

Canât imagine how boring American Football would sound on the radio. Fair dinkum, the grass can grow between plays.

Itâs boring enough on TV!! I guess it suits the House of Hutch, little bit of play with a lot of ads,

Theyâd probably relay a US broadcaster during the season but for at least the Superbowl I imagine theyâll endeavour to send Gerard Whateley to commentate again like they did this year.

Bought for $10 million, so they lost $7.6 million on the deal. Wow.

Cheaper to run a music station without announcers plus Overload from SEN on 1377.
Given they can seemingly get away with a near total simulcast - theyâve saved on music royalties.

Begs the question, since Hutchy loves the USA, Iâm surprised he didnât try to reach a deal with ESPN and re-brand SEN+ as ESPN?
Use the ESPN Radio programming as a spine, mixed with some SEN best ofâs and overflow live sports programming.

The cost to license the âESPNâ name wouldnât be cheap.

Thatâs OK, Hutchy would flog off more sponsorship opportunities.
