SEN (Radio)

@TV.Cynic

The breach was the result of an inadvertent error by SEN+ due to an unexpected scheduling delay. In response, the ACMA has issued a remedial direction to PSN to commission an independent audit of its processes and practices and conduct staff training on the rules to ensure future compliance with the rules.

PSN must, under the remedial direction, formally report to the ACMA on its findings and recommended improvements. Providers face financial penalties if they fail to carry out the requirements of a remedial direction.

Another wet lettuce leaf response from ACMA.

SEN+ —the Melbourne based online sports radio provider

Even ACMA knows that no-one is listening on 1377

The question I’d have is - are the rules the same for a commercial radio license? I’ve not listened intently, but I’m sure there’s radio gambling ads all over the place around sporting events - it’s also literally all that RSN broadcasts.

If it’s okay on terrestrial radio, then SEN+ as a simulcast stream of 1377 shouldn’t be impacted, if it isn’t okay on AM, then surely this should be a ding against the 3MP license.

Very odd enforcement.

There are different rules for betting advertising for the three racing codes. But for sports betting it appears that the same rules apply for both online audio and broadcast radio, unless I have read them incorrectly. The rules are somewhat cumbersome to read.

From a Pacific Star investor presentation released to the ASX today. The map they included is of very poor quality.

1620 kHz still an ear bleeding 1 kHz pilot tone on the Gold Coast.

Has 1629 SEN in Hobart started Tests Yet???

[littlegezzybear]

All five SEN streams on the SEN app are broadcasting the live NBL coverage. The most of the time simulcast continues.

[TheGreatOne2]

The ACMA should do something about sen simulcasting Its like when 3mp was simulcasting on 693am and 1377am for few monthss way back in 1990’s

[TheStyles83]

Does Crocmedia have any Presence in Canberra?

[littlegezzybear]

No.

Nine Entertainment via 3AW now owns 3.91% of Pacific Star currently worth about $2.2 million, a leftover holding dating back to when 3AW owned almost 15% of 3MP and 3AK. Nine should probably sell I think as the holding will continue to be diluted by share issues.

The TV rights changing hands isn’t going to stop Bruce McAvaney being involved with the Melbourne Cup:

Bruce McAvaney to join Whateley and SEN on Melbourne Cup day

Gerard Whateley has signed a new 3 year contract with SEN, after Seven’s attempt to poach him was cut short by change of CEO at the network.

Seven’s attempt to poach him was cut short by change of CEO at the network.

Why was this? Warbo not a fan?

[JohnsonTV]

The following was posted last month. I am not sure if Warburton is a fan of Whateley, all I know is that Warburton is trying to save some money at Seven.

@JohnsonTV

Herald Sun reports today that Seven’s plan to lure Gerard Whateley from Fox Footy to the network abruptly ended when James Warburton replaced Tim Worner as CEO. Top negotiations were well under way with Worner’s blessing, before Warburton took up the top role in August. The report says that Seven had planned to create a new football show similar to AFL360 for Whateley, and also have him involved in Seven’s coverage of AFL, Tokyo Olympics and summer of cricket, as Bruce McAvaney scales back his commitments.

After farewelling Sportsday on 3AW last night, Dwayne Russell will be unveiled as SEN’s new afternoons host today. He will start at SEN on January 13 next year, hosting Dwayne’s World from midday to 3pm, as well as calling several sports including AFL, Australian Open tennis and NBL.

UPDATE:

116 SEN announces Dwayne Russell afternoon show

At the Pacific Star annual general meeting yesterday there was still no indication when the narrowcast and narrowband licences will be on-air.

[bacco007]

The licences expire on Christmas day according to ACMA - I’m guessing thats part of “use it or lose it” that the regulator adopts for narrowband broadcasting

[TheStyles83]

Still waiting for SEN Tasmania to come on air
