KB is terrible, I can't believe people think he is remotely good.

Looking forward to seeing how the new breakfast show goes!

If KB was not at SEN they would be quickly spiraling out of control. He has been their rock since they started.
They have fallen for the old three card trick of believing that if they throw money at personalities it will bring in the ratings.
Gary Lyon sounded like he had been on a bender all weekend. His voice was raspy and frankly didn't seem interested. Mike Sheahan was his interesting best. Like or hate him, you enjoy listening to him. Hamish.....well he is a big noter isn't he? Property in Mornington, owns horses, just can't help himself. Private school prat. He will grate on people. Tim Watson.....hmm. One minute he doesn't want to do breakfast then he reappears. Just highlights that money speaks all languages.

1 : Ross & John on 3AW Kings of breakfast radio. Jonathan Brown, Sam Pang & Chrissie Swan are not to bad on FM.
2: KB is king, and his knowledge of all sports, memory and passion makes him great to listen to. A lot of people just cannot differentiate when he is tongue is firmly placed in his cheek.
3: Francis Leach has had his dream come true. An open microphone that he does not have to share with anyone, and he can talk non stop. To use a racing parlance.....Prefer others.
4:Afternoon needs more work. Can't put my finger on it yet. Possibly get another one in there to take some pressure of Marko. His lack of general sporting knowledge stands out. Ox gets caught out a number of times as well, and when they are both stuffing it up, it is not good radio. Still better than Tom Elliott who only cares that he pays too much in taxes, and that he was not born with a silver spoon in his Carey Grammar educated mouth. Oh... and he also owns a house in Flinders. Good old working class Canterbury boy.
5: Fine, not interested. By the time he comes on, just happy to listen to some music.
Just wonder how long before SEN realise they need Harf back.

......and a Monarchist. He enjoys nothing more than kissing the Royal's backside.
 
Watson's the wittiest guy on SEN...and that's saying something.

As for Lyon's interview with Sheahan...happy to listen to Lyon hosting the show, but who gives a **** about his personal issues? He should keep that to himself, not use it for ratings.

Sheahan ******* useless anyway, he knows nothing, he's just a footy punter like the rest of us. Could never even discuss major off field issues during his time as Chief football writer. How useless is that?

The whole football industry is one big inbred, incestuous ,buddy buddy industry. People who speak out are shunned, that's why you get these lightweights on crap radio shows.
 
I listened to a bit of it today and enjoyed it. They'll be useless when not talking footy but SEN totally ignores non-footy from Feb to Oct so that won't matter.

I know he has his detractors I've always enjoyed Lyon as a footy commentator/analyst. He's been good value on Footy Classified and was missed last year and should do well this year - that he admitted he hadn't watched much footy for long periods of last year is a bit of a concern. The funny thing about Mike Sheahan is that I never really rated him as a newspaper columnist but always thought he worked better on radio; is good at challenging others opinions and initiating interesting discussion in that format. Good addition.

Watson is pretty meh but will be better with Lyon (and Sheahan) than he was with Schwarz & Leach. Hamish is the weak spot, adds very little except fake charm and his sycophancy towards Sheahan today was embarrassing.

Re: Lyon being interviewed about his personal life tomorrow, I guess SEN are doing that for ratings and that may work but I think it's a bit of a mistake from a broader perspective; probably should be on Open Mike.

Seriously, they could not find room for a single woman?

Usual SEN crap where the on air "talent" is a bigger story than anything happening outside their own 4 walls. They're all cracking blokes who love to rough and tumble with each other and somehow think that the rest of the world is interested in their blokey little world.

The only surprising thing is that there are men out there that actually listen to them.
 
around 24 hours ago i read some comments on the sen fb page. essentially the page laid out to bare what the schedule was. footy, footy, essendon coach, mike etc.

one commentor asked "so the morning after the final, no tennis? the reply? "we've been talking about the tennis for the past 2 weeks!"

You are spot on, however some stations cannot afford to pay millions to established stars. Browny is kicking goals at NOVA, and Harf got his start at SEN when the station was irrelevant, and now he is an experienced and respected radio head. You have to give new talent a chance to emerge, which keeps the rest honest. There are some very good people doing local community shows who never got a chance to show their wares in mainstream radio.

SEN are probably paying Lyon him decent coin, so they are going to want to milk it for everything. Unfortunately when you work in the public domain, you become public property to an extent. Lyon is dipping his toe in the water to see if he can handle the attention and stress that this show will attract to him. Who knows he may just walk away after a few months if he doesn't feel right. The elephant in the room is the whole Bill Brownless issue from last year. He never publicly responded, so people are naturally curious.

Interestingly the Herald Sun reported back in November that Hird and Lyon were going to team up on SEN. Management balked believing having both at the station was a risk. They got that one right.

the topic of billy was touched upon. billy didnt respond to his text(s).
doesnt like the public life, embarrassed about being in the social pages.
tough listening to him talk about his sons and ex wife. He said it was private and his business, and fair enough too.

What is the appropriate emoji to respond to the text "Sorry I am banging your ex"?
 
I wish Gary all the best with his recovery from depression but the fact that he is still with Billy's ex just seems wrong. Doesn't he realise he has done the wrong thing? Nikki should know better too.

Feel for Billy saw him at a pub a couple of years ago and was just happy to chat to anyone seems like a good guy.
