I
I'm staying. No, I can't guarantee anything.
It seems as though they aren't simulcasting Talksport as they usually would, instead they are just airing repeats of the morning and now afternoon shows.
Does anyone know if the Talksport arrangement has ended? maybe they have missed payments recently? Maybe they are starting the simulcast later? I know I can get Talksport without going through EON, so that's not a problem, but you can't get the EPL without going via EON. They are still airing advertisements about live EPL coverage, but they are also still airing ads about their Live A-League coverage of every game.

i couldnt listen to TalkSport broadcast the Champions League this morning because EON have the rights but they had their breakfast show on instead.
screw this shitty station...they're dead to me.

Talksport came on late last night. It might have been about 11pm Your right they were replaying interviews from during the day prior to that. I have no idea why the switch is happening later. My guess would be they can keep playing their own adds and not have to pay much production wise as it is all replays.
They're cooked, but it was never a good business plan - an all-sport digital radio service with no AFL broadcasting license.
The only market in Australia where an all-sport radio station can work is Melbourne, because of the enormous latent interest in the AFL. Unfortunately for EON, that niche is already filled by an AFL-backed station.

According to the Digital Radio survey numbers released yesterday, they actually performed well in Sydney.
Only problem is, like the AFL rights, they don't have NRL rights either to give them some type of solid foundation.
Considering they are yet to update their website (still showing Chatfield and old stories), it doesn't fill me with the greatest of confidence.
Well, they did finally update the website. That's a small promising sign.

Who are the new owners?
And are they going back to covering A-League which was such a big part of their original hype package before they quietly dropped it?

Management buy out. I'm not sure on A league. Haven't asked.
Listening to the station this week, you can really tell the difference compared to two weeks ago. During the advertisement breaks the constant promos for live A-League and NBL coverage (which they had stopped covering anyway) have stopped and in its place is a steady stream of advertisers, which is good for the viability of the station. You can really tell that they've put extra resources into the sales team.
Moving the afternoon duo to the mornings has been a good thing IMO as they have brought much more energy to the breakfast slot. Jack is a polished presenter who I like, but doing solo in the breakfast slot wasn't working (I thought he and Biance were good FWIW).

Good stuff. Although I like Talk Sport.
