Do these hourly advert quotas include Tim and Garry plugging companies or just official ads?
SEN is unlistenable due to saturation advertising.

Live reads are included in the quota.
On stations such as SEN they are more highly valued than pre recorded ones as they have greater cut thru. Particularly when SEN gives significant bonus in the recorded ads to fill slots.
AFL media in general is s**t, they all kiss the AFL’s ass and report the same tripe on the same clubs day in day out.
DO NOT ROCK THE BOAT!!!

Try working and listening on night shift, it's officially unbearable.
I've switched to bouncing between mmm and listening to audiobooks.
What a terrible decision to sack Finey.
And if I ever get terminally ill I promise I will personally kidnap Frank Walker and live stream his slow death by torture for as long as I can keep him alive and enjoy every second of it.

Adding in that half-hourly news bulletin has made it even worse. Now it's basically:
On the hour news
Bunch of ads
First Major segment
Bunch of Ads
Very short news-lead-in segment
Half-hourly News
Very short Comeback segment
More Ads
Second Major Segment
More Ads
Very short news-lead-in segment
Hourly News.
There's literally only 2 significant 10-minute length segments within an hour of broadcasting time.

SEN,you can’t wait for the adds.
I can't handle all the NFL between 5.30 when I get up & 6.00 when I leave.
Not listening any more.

With the ads, and the programming that has gone to the absolute shithouse this year, its a write off. Was Once so good, now totally unlistenable.
Oh well.
Oh well.
I hate this s**t, and I’m somebody who loves a punt.
That w***er from Sportsbet who gets on every morning and is flogging MLB at the moment because it’s the only major sport on. They never, ever mention baseball on SEN so are literally just selling crack to the addicts.
“Oh yeah I’m from Sportsbet! Lads! Banter! Beers! BS! Yes lads! Bantz!”
*******s.
It is close to unbearable.
Hate to break it to you, ads pay for the programming.
No ads ...... they'd be off the air.
But of course you knew this, right?

There's no need to have almost half the program being adds, they have to follow the laws of the land.It's an insult to people to listen to the same deliberately annoying adds over and over and over. Do you like listening to these constant adds?BTW there are much more adds now Croc media have taken over.As a consumer you shouldn't have to put up with the bombardment of branding adds just to get some trade news.I'm giving up Sen anyway,podcasts are the go now.If I ever met those campaigners who make the adds I would let them know what campaigners they are by ruining peoples peace and quiet.Sales equals campaigners.
There are also just some strange programming decisions.
e.g. the Monday after the Grand Final, you'd probably want to hear Whateley and his heavy hitters giving a long in-depth analysis of the game, the big moments, where it was won and lost, etc. You'd want some sort of looking back on the season that was, as well as discussing prospects for teams in 2019.
Instead we had Trade Radio, with Sam and Nicky Dal derping it up and talking absolute rubbish for 3 hours because there were no actual trades yet.

I haven't listened to SEN for years. I watch Fox, and commercial breaks are annoying. It's not unusual to see the same add 3 times in the same break!
