Radio The SEN Thread 10

[Redline]

They really get a very low market share dueing the week. Just looking at the weekends I would of thought they would rate higher.

 

[bedford]

Shit ratings for MG, even mentioned in the paper this morning. It's easy , shift Harf and Granland with Turfy and ROCO alternating

I'm sure the ratings for crunch time would be pretty good, but they get the B games to broadcast that involve non Victorian teams most weeks, so those I guess those in Melbourne are likely to have the radio on 3AW or MMM as they have the better games.

 

[damochandler]

It's pretty clear now they have botched this line up change. Maher and Allen shouldn't even be there any more. Harf should be back in his old timeslot which worked. Leech and ox should've been put in the drive spot again and breakfast should just have new faces that no one knows about. Changing footy fix was ridiculous.

 

[Vinnie B]

Did David Schwarz say "it's David Schwarz, 5 degrees" this morning? lol

 

[DT2000]

Fridays from 4pm through to the end of the broadcast is the station at it's best imo.
I want Harf back for arvos or with Doc Turf on TRH.
Maher is so effing annoying, his questions are getting longer and longer by the day, he doesn't have an easy voice to listen to for a start...
Can't stand MG anymore, haven't listened for ages.
KB is great for brainless trolling radio when I can tune in.
Finey is just losing it, Final Siren used to be must listen stuff but it's dying a slow death and his week nights are shite.

Finey is just losing it, Final Siren used to be must listen stuff but it's dying a slow death and his week nights are shite.

I'm torn because I think he does/did a good job for the most part. But I think the evening slot definitely needs a refresh, that doesn't necessarily mean getting rid of him but maybe a co-host and getting rid of some of the welded-on segments and guests.

You share my thoughts on FFS

I agree for the most part, I just think that maybe he tries to cover too many topics across the four nights - there doesn't seem to be any common link there at all, it's like totally different programs sometimes.

Oh man, Sunday night's FFS used to be funny as, so many epic melts and rants and the caller interaction was gold.

 

[pepsi]

Finey also suffers from being on too much. They made mistakes in their reshuffle and we said it from the start. But they've made their decision and will have to see out this year at least and probably next year.

Agreed. As you stated it used to be a must listen, couldn't wait for whatever crappy late Sunday interstate game to finish. He doesn't seem to have the vim and vigour of previous years (his callers are more shyte as well)

Oh man i missed that. Although i do tend to tune out when Nathan is on.

 

[damochandler]

i don't think they can continue with this format.

Stuck with SEN for a really, really, really long time when I really thought it was pretty crap out of habit and familiarity and something that no thought driving to and from work.

Finally switched off around Round 3, and never thought to go back again.

Factors for me in the end:
- Tim Watson coming back to breakfast, again. He just will not go away, and I find really annoying.
- Andy Maher. Almost nothing more needs to be said....but if pressed, Exhibit A your honour is him calling Melbourne Melbourne TOWN every time, Richmond TOWN.....and talking himself down all the time as your average bloke, all the while actually gloating about mindless drivel he does.
- Mark Allen. Enough said
- Too many regular talkback callers spouting the same crap, getting baited by the hosts, and personal snipes and vendettas that hijack everything. If that is setting the agenda, I decided to change stations. Funny once maybe, beyond tiresome and boring when it happens once a segment
- The constant and very shallow pool of advertisers. Pete from Rosebaud Telstra and his kid can **** off.

Have not missed it.

 

[MacMum]

I've had my whinges about it, but let me tell you I have missed SEN so much this past fortnight! Have been in Qld, nothing like it at all. Had no idea of what the hell was happening in the sporting world other than the State of Origin!!

To make matters worse, we had limited internet as well!! OMG!!!!

I love you SEN, faults, warts and all. Will never complain again. (well, I'll try anyway)

 

[peternorth]

i do wonder if when the beer woman and the beer guy from the beer place in fitzroy come in with samples, marko and ox have a drink to sample. do they drive home?

Who are you listening too now then? That's my problem, I can't bear any other talk stations so listen to music stations sometimes but get a bit sick of them too.

Try and find some podcasts about things that you love. It's much more enjoyable and entertaining.

tim watson was not drawn into an article about hirds father who wrote a letter to the PM regarding jobe keeping his brownlow. said he wasnt going to comment and give people a headline

 

[imadodgyumpire]

I read all the complaints. But overall, Maher's show is better than Harf's.

No way, Harftime was my favourite show and now it's gone Kills me even more that it's been replaced by one of the worst presenters at the station Tuning out between 12 and 3 everyday now

I listen in the mornings, but it's really out of habit now.
And only listen to SEN on Friday afternoons for deadest and Turfy's betting exchange.
