1116 SEN 2024 line up

[Redline]

I warned a few mates who got gigs behind the scenes there to "always have your resume up to date".

The elephant in the room for SEN is where do they see an increase in revenue, in the near future?

They've got all the sports rights they can purchase. They've got the 'biggest names' in Australian Sports Talk that were available (and 'biggest names' is really a stretch). So, what do they have that can give them a significant, on-going increase in revenue?

I don't want to see people lose their jobs, but if Hutchy were to fail, I'd rather it happen fast, then get to a point where when the first owners of SEN had failed to pay staff and that dragged out for some time.

My guess would be the only products that make some profit are SEN Track and maybe Trade Radio for a few weeks a year.

I think everything else would be running at a loss, with some things like SEN Sydney losing a heap of money. Stations in SA, Tas and WA are fairly low cost so might just break even.

Outside that I think maybe the travel side of the business and talent management do okay. Corporates pay a lot to do things like the Superbowl and also gives Hutchy a chance to squeeze some advertising dollars.

Thoughts about the breakfast shows lead in music ? I think it’s called “run away”

Absolutely hate it. Don't think I could handle 12 months of it.

Kornes and Kingy have been eating Carlton's arse in the offseason. Just waiting for them to turn into wolves when the season starts and the losses come.

Look I have no idea clearly but I think you're undervaluing how much money can be made from podcasts. A heap of the breakfast show segments, plus Whateley and a few other shows too do often have high traction in the podcast charts. It's a different country but companies don't have much issue staying afloat in the States from successful podcasts so I'd be interested to see what they're getting paid for advertising on theirs.

Taggart is entertaining on SEN track.

Fair play to Hutchblob. I'd much, much rather have India/England than whatever else could be on.

Agree

SEN's coverage of the UFC is non-existent. I realise it isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it almost seems like they've taken a policy position on it.

Good , it's not sport , it belongs in the viking era

Good thing for you the breakfast show only runs 8 or 9 months max then....

Chuck horse racing in the bin while we're at it....degenerate sport.

Maybe they do make more revenue than I think but live talk back radio is an expensive product to make.

FM stations make three hours of radio in say 30 minutes, sometimes do three days worth of shows in one.

Likewise live sport is expensive to produce especially now when they don't relay coverage like they used to.

You could be right the Podcasts could be making money it's just the station overall would be expensive to run.

Really it employs so many thousands in the industry and off shoots , the spring carnival brings so many people to the state and that's $'s

I said it as a retort to your blunt post

I dislike horse racing intensely, but I don't want it banned like some people do, and I can understand why it gets covered on SEN. Actually, SEN Track helps keep more of it off the main station.

Two worst weeks of the sporting year for me - the week leading into the Melbourne Cup and the week before Superbowl zzzzzzzzzz

Had to laugh at the Qld newsreader calling Leongatha , Leon Gartha

I think theyre stuck between waffle and two blokes talking footy with a few mins about other sports goings on then bringing it back to footy. they effectively ask each other questions without substance for conversation sake i feel.

i dont mind the waffling no sport related stuff, its light. however, once upon a time they didnt waffle im pretty sure, it was sports talk from the start of the show. introduction of waffle suggests therefore that as you say there's no content. They dont know or cant be botehred driving content like say Corn does. Its not a bad thing to be fair, know your limitations as they say.

 

[Crumpet_avenger]

I enjoyed when Tom Morris was on with Gazza before crissy.
He made Gazza squirm a few times which made for good listening
Tim's in retirement mode and should be put out to pasture.
Not sure Gazza does the show without Tim though

Due to the timezone difference, I don't get to listen to SEN Breakfast much. But catch up sometimes on podcast.

The show has always been flatter than Taylor Swift in a bikini. You want some energy and vibrancy in the brekky slot, while people are trying to get ready for another day of the grind. Garry sounds half asleep and mumbly most days, and Tim has been phoning it in for a while.

The Friday show is the best of the week for the reasons above.
