Radio The SEN Thread 10

[Registered User]

Does anyone else find this speculative trade/draft segment extremely boring? I find trades and drafts boring at the end of the season let alone now while we still have footy going on.

Aaaah, SPOT ON!! I thought it was just me, because I've mentioned it before on here somewhere and had little response.

It's spending air-time on kids, many of whom will never make it. What's the point of that? Go back several years, and they might as well have wasted time talking about me when I was playing VFA under-18s, i.e. a complete was of air-space

If the segments or shows were called "speculation about teenagers who might not ever play AFL", the topic might be seen as what it is.

I can't believe the air-time Shifter Sheehan gets around draft time, and I REALLY can't believe there's a show about it on Ch 9 on Sundays. Ok, Hutchy's show is a little different, but still. I don't get it. I suppose it gives supporters of weaker clubs some hope

I have a vague interesting in the top few pics, especially if they might come to Richmond, but that's it.

Dan Lonergan is a decent broadcaster. Better than anything SEN has to offer.

If I was SEN I would be very concerned, especially as they are Melbourne centric. This station goes national and is going to throw cash at the AFL rights.

There is only room for one of these type of sport stations in this country, given our small demographic

Digital radios haven't fully replaced analogue currently still in use households around Australia.

Jonathan Howcroft and Lisa Alexander are on radio together again. This time on the ABC right now!

I use both. I can't get SEN on analogue but it's perfect on digital, but I can't get any ABC stations on digital.

i find sen1116 on DAB+ is very clear BUT in some spots i.e. burnley and domain tunnels it cuts out

That's unusual. You have reset autotune?

 

[Sassafras]

Yeah, in fact I get every digital station basically perfectly, but nearly always no signal on ABC channels, but when I turn it on FM/AM it's fine. I do live in a sort of regional area though.

i am finding myself switching between 3AW and Nova from 8-8.30 these days.

I was going to give them a try, but the web stream cuts out after only a few seconds and they aren't on TuneIn Radio either. I'm not going to buy a digital radio just to listen to EON sport, when it's an unknown quantity.

Hopefully their online platform improves by the time the English Premier League starts, because EON are taking Talksports feed and Talksport will be blocked while games are on, which is a shame as Talksport is reliable and EON can't last more than a few seconds it seems without buffering.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

This is how you can listen to EON.

I had to rescan my digital radio to pick up the station.

Yes, I have it on my digital radio no problem. (Just hadn't got around to checking until now as I don't use it often).

Have you tried their app

 

[Teagueeee15]

Have you tried their app

Thanks for the suggestion, I've just tried the app and it's working fine. I still think it would be better for them if they were on TuneIn like SEN and most other radio stations are.

 

[peternorth]

i am now listening to RSN between 7.30-9

 

[bonddm]

Have a real look, not a man look!

Does anyone know what's going on with their website? It's been down for a while -- over a week?

Ralph is the biggest flog on sen by a fair way.
Even Marko can't reach the level of bufoonery he is at.

Cannot agree with this. Marko stands alone as the biggest flog on SEN.

Hi everyone,
Hope you can all find a way to hear what modern and fresh sounding Sports Radio is all about and give EON Sports RADIO a chance
Seems alot of you here keep bringing up the same things , same old same old voices , no new ideas to much AFL and alot of going through the motions sounding hosts at SEN just happy to pick up a pay check and rock up each day.
I think a few of you will agree SEN has dropped the ball and thats human nature with no competition and now EON sports radio is here to pick up the ball and run with it.
Give EON a go and you might find yourself never logging onto forums to complain about Sports Radio again

EON is only available on digital platform right? Therefore those without this facility are unable to listen, especially in their motor vehicles. There will be complaints.

Otherwise what you say makes sense. May I ask what your role at EON is?

Late yesterday arvo, I was tuning my old Walkman to SEN when I heard a "phantom" signal near 1116 which had Terry Wallace and Tony Leonard. What was that? One of Hutchy's station's shows?

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

Tony Leonard is on 3AW these days, not sure if Wallace is though.

 

[damochandler]

I listened to eon sports on Monday. Gave it up after the 30th saint or sinner

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

So the same lane segments as SEN just with different names?

 

[imadodgyumpire]

I'll be giving it a go. But as far as sports radio goes. I think they're like Melbourne Heart/City. Victory were there first and the public are familiar or attached to them. Heart/City has to go the extra mile just to get within range of keeping up. I think EON will have to wait a fair while before they've make inroads into SEN.

 

[bedford]

No interest in it, still love SEN and turn off when I don't like it. That happened Sunday when once again turned the car on and heard the OX yelling for no reason.
