Certified Legendary Thread 1116 SEN 2025 line up

[Mr X]

What’s with the obsession of SEN presenters calling the city they broadcast from “Melbourne Town”???? Pretty confident the last 1000 times I have heard that phrase is that radio station, to the point of it being almost exclusive.

Going ok

Posted a while ago to expect more of Cornes - Hutchison is definitely grooming him for bigger things - Will add that Cornes needs to temper his outlandish statements - You can still have a strong and informed opinion but couch it in a more amenable way.

 

[ChrisHunt313131]

I’m a Lyon & Watson fan but I have a hypothetical - if in 2019 Hutchy got rid of them and had to replace with 2 new hosts but kept the rest of the full time SEN staff in their current spots who would people want?

Eg: you can’t choose KB or Turf as they already a show.

You can choose people like Dal Santo, McGuane as they are casuals and you can choose anyone from other stations etc.

Basil z and mario from doncaster.
Both frauds

The Daisy Pearce appointment has been met with some derision amongst social media. Some labelled it PC.

I have nothing against her as a person. I heard her this morning answer a question about a decision to appoint phil neville managing the english womens team. DP said her drawback is that she doesnt know anything about international sports, and admits she will have to learn.

Refreshing to hear someone accepting vulnerability and hoping to grow.

That doesn't sound like something a Cornes is capable of.

 

[mikey127]

Still think sportsday might eventually shift to SEN. Maybe there is a contract in place with AW he can't break.

 

[buzzbuzz]

It surprises me how people like Hutchy, who like to make out that they're switched on and business-savvy, take ages to update their websites.

When did Finey get the arse? The big photos of him and Robbo are still on the podcasts page

https://www.sen.com.au/podcasts/

I'm no I.T. guy, so if there are logistical issues that would make quick changes tricky, someone educate me.

Would assume their internal staff might also be getting a clean out if stuff isn't being updated

 

[Red Bull]

Good spot. With those guys and Gary Lyon still around, which expert commentary slot would Spud fit into given his Sunday work on Fox? If they are reducing from 60 part timers to 20, he may be gone.

Has anyone heard if Mike Sheehan will still be on?

Expert commentary is not what comes to mind when Frawley's name is mentioned .
A genuine buffoon of the highest order who cannot string a coherent sentence together and is still firmly entrenched in the embarrassing blokey/old boys network mindset .
He and the equally lazy Watson (still armed with his tired old school boy toilet humor) surely wouldn't be missed ...

Does Watson remind you of someone who still lives in the 1950's?
Has zero knowledge of the modern world and lacks all understanding of contemporary issues.

Still, I guess its understandable, he grew up in the bush until the age of 15, then spent the next 20 years in the sheltered workshop of the VFL/AFL.
He would never have had the opportunity to experience real world events or issues.

I'm amazed that no one has questioned him on his view that everyone has a "Christian" name, heard him ask a Korean person what their Christian name was earlier in the week.....ignorance is strong in this one

 

[BERT]

Has anyone been sacked today?

 

[CrowdedHouse]

Has anyone been sacked today?

That's worthy of having its own twitter account... "Has SEN sacked anyone today?" with the account handle @SENfirings

Yes, I was wondering about Spud. I've be surprised if he fits into Hutcho's model of a "fresh, cool, slick and pro" operation

Felt like he was trying too hard last year to make big statements.
The Cripps one was woeful.

 

[Smoooothy]

day 4 of KB and Dr Turf - can see turfy getting himself in a shitton of trouble. has some pretty outlandish things to say

his rant on womens tennis yesterday was pretty bad

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Surely the most overexposed sport on SEN has to be AFL!!

 

[Deathray]

Hutcho's model of a "fresh, cool, slick and pro" operation

I like Dr turf but think the pairing with KB seriously lacks energy, probably not surprising given a combined age of 135+. While Allen and ox had their flaws they had a certain undefinable energy that cannot be easily replaced.

Its by design, Dr Turf would be a a very long leash. Expect to hear lots of outlandish/provocative statements across the station as they struggle to get their voice heard from the dead end that they currently find themselves in.

 

[bedford]

Turfy is ok, but maybe to be on only 2 or 3 times a week and get Richo on Mondays when there's no races.

 

[Wacky Tiger]

Richo and KB together would be a great combo. Used to love his Value segment on a friday morning.

I'd probably not tune in. They have the right early morning relaxed style I enjoy. Do not take things too seriously. Mick McGuane is way too serious and talks way too fast to be easy listening at 6 am in morning. 9 am to 10 am is more acceptable to take him in small doses.

I get your point. My first impressions from this are that they're just a couple of mates talking to each other while they happen to be on air.

The "energy" you call is atm a step down from their hours when in mornings.

Sen playing adds that Gerard Whateley show will live all week from Minnesota for super bowl

That Christian name thing is like nails down a blackboard (showing my age!) .... when was the last time Tim filled in a form that didn't have "first name"? But don't be too critical as you will have people screeching PC PC at you.

And his other job is in a newsroom.
