My LOL is brought to you by Tobin Brothers.
And that fullstop is thanks to Valvoline.
And youâre listening to Haha Nation.
[Iâll stop now]
Surely a full stop would be a Bendix Brakes Big Moment. When you need to come to a full stop, you need Bendix Brakes.
why do 1116 and 1377 simulcast for most of the day?
They are cheap.
You deserve a Bertocchi ham and a bottle of De Bortoli.
Or if it was FiveAA, a double pass to the fabulous Wallis Cinemas, I won a couple of those when I lived over there
To test whether ACMA are still doing their job at enforcing the no simulcast rule, like they did with 3XY/BayFm and 3EE/3MP âŚ
That will make SEN the first commercial radio station to be broadcast in every state and territory. SCA (which has a vast regional network) doesnât have presence in NT.
They do have a presence there, in which they own 50% of Hit 104.7 & Mix 106.3, as well as the Nine affiliate there.
Thanks for the correction. I realised the error immediately after posting it. I also forgot the Southern Cross TV station in Canberra.
I do wonder if SEN will expand into Hobart first, in order to provide commercial radio coverage of BBL and international cricket next summer. Commercial radio broadcast of international cricket has been missing in Tasmania since Triple M pulled out in May 2018.
For those interested to know where you might soon be hearing SEN on: https://maprad.io/au/search/licensee/Gumnut%20Nominees%20Pty%20Ltd_1314015_46005009352_Rete%20Italia
From a Sydney perspective, the Gumnut Nominees licences include 1539AM and 1611AM out West, which are currently home to Rete Italia and the Vision Radio Network respectively.
I wonder if Pacific Star/Crocmedia might also eventually try and do deals with other broadcasters to get SEN programming on DAB+ Digital Radio outside of Melbourne.
The announcement is interesting for its long-term consequences in that there could be a point whereby Crocmedia wonât have to sub-licence the rights they acquire to the likes of Macquarie and keep them solely for the SEN network of stations
Laughs in Radio 2
I wonder if Gumnut will buy some FM narrowcast licences to replace what they are selling or if they will encourage listeners to stream their services.
Wonder how my grandpa can listen to Rete Italia once this happens?
Wonder if SEN will go to any effort to actually get radios optimised for receiving off band AM into the hands of the public?
I also wonder if this will encourage anyone with a commercial license in a market SEN are trying to operate in to step up and challenge them on the basis on which SEN considers itself to be legally operating a commercial radio service on a narrowcast license.
This isnât a racing radio service, and none of the other existing clear cases where it has been considered narrowcast apply here. Do they just point to MSRâs ratings as evidence it is a niche?
Quite sure that the 1611 licence in Hobart isnât active at the moment. Others might be able to tell if the TX equipment is still installed at Ralphs Bay.
How do work out which of the 58 licences SEN purchased in the link provided?
