Radio The SEN Thread 6

[Daytripper]

The latest ratings are out and it has been a very bad one for SEN with a drop across the board. Last survey they rated a 4.8% share and this one it has dropped to 3.9%. Seeing as this is during the middle of the footy season when you would expect their ratings to be at their strongest. I am surprised by this result. All the people I know that listen to sen haven't stopped listening in the last couple of months.

The biggest drop was The Good Oil which dropped 1.7% from being SEN's highest rating program at 5.4% to 3.7%. I am sure the Doran haters will be glad to read of this.

Somethings going on with the 18-24yo demographic that doesn't seem quite right.

SEN went from a 4.8% share to 0.7% whilst Gold went from 1.9% to 5.7%. Now I'm not 18-24 but maybe someone can explain to me why the SEN audience changed stations to Gold which from my understanding is an easy listening station. Gold was also up on the weekend across the board which seems extraordinary consiering it is a non football broadcasting station.

Always though Doran's figures seemed too high for a midday slot.

I think somethings going on with the 18-24 demographic

 

[peternorth]

this 18-24 demographic, something's definitely going on.

Of course they should talk sport, just not basketball rubbish. Its not sport, its a silly girls game just like soccer. Gaze is a tool and should be shown the door.

he's on every week, offers a different view of footy. granted he brings a lot back to basketball the same way watson brings everything back to afl.

basketball not a sport? how did you come to that conclusion? silly girls game? nrl fans would argue afl is a girls game, maybe we should pander to their needs?

what sport would you like sen to cover?

 

[matt_897]

Andrew Gaze on Morning Glory during Finals time! Boring and stupid as hell - leave this sort of crap until the summer months

i was wondering what made sen basically an afl station instead of a sports station, there are actually listeners who just want to talk footy 24/7 non stop.

The 3 sports he wants covered are AFL, footy and Aussie Rules. That should just about cover it.

In 2008 I wouldn't of minded that.

Switched off the Gladiators after half an hour last night, Peaky just kept crapping on about the stupid horse-whip scandal again this week, I don't mind them going off on other sports, but he kept yapping on this same issue for an hour or so last week, and I got sick of it (and i'm not a fan of racing either)

Pull ya head in Peaky, it's prelim final weekend, no one really gives a shit right now about the Spring Carnival till after the granny.

 

[JUBJUB]

It's Finals time you idiot! Gaze, basketball and all that sh*t has no place on any media outlet at any time; particularly finals time.

That post is why everyone thinks Collingwood supporters are peanuts.

Ah turncoat,you had a crack at lihei for someone on SEN talking about something other than AFL yet you're now whinging about it

No, because he had a rant/cry about exactly the same issue and topic on last week's Show ...

When he starts crapping on about crap like Lawyers and Vets (which Peaky brought into the Horse whip debate) then it gets really tiring and irritating.

BTW Do you actually listen to that show Jubby ??? (Gladiators of Sport ?)

Probably because their ratings took a massive hit at the end of the footy season last year. This year, though, they can't really drop much further...

 

[paul scholes]

I caught a bit of Doran just then.

Apparently some bloke called up pretending to be the president of some local club saying they have signed Russell Robertson for next year.

Turned out to be a hoax so Doran called him a d**khead and said we have your number and will be passing it on to the police.

Wonder what Doran wants him charged with? Making an experienced radio host look stupid?

Bugger alcohol fuelled violence, lets get the cops working on prank callers...

Great post. Did anyone hear Doran call Cain West instead of Kanye. I wouldn't know one of his songs but even I know the prenounciation of his friggin name

 

[bacon buster]

this horse whip 'scandal' has been ****ing killing me this week!

nobody gives a flying ****, do they?

raises hand.

Anyone with a high pain threshold and an tolerance for imbeciles on air,can sit back and enjoy listenting to 'Hysteria' on SEN now for the next two hours ...

I'll pass, I can't stand listening to Matt Thompson at the worst of times, especially when he cracks the sads at any talkback callers who try to argue with him.

I have to agree. The last hour or so has been utter crap.

I can't believe his argument for Semenya is that we don't have to be so cruel and that she didn't perform with gonads knowingly.

Of course the opposing argument has nothing to do with fairness in the sport .

 

[Registered User]

Yep, I can't believe they let that try-hard on air for more than a 30-second 'roving report'. He is crap and boring, and I reckon he only has a job there because he works for less than 30k a year, and will do what ever crap job they ask him to do

I'll pass,

I don't mind him too much as a reporter but as a host he's beyond terrible. Dunno why they don't use people like Matt Granland or Brett Phillips for these fill in slots

 

[celtic_pride]

HA HA someone just SMS'ed an txt to the Brownlow Medal pre-count show, calling Matt 'Hysteria' Thompson a 'baby' ...

He didn't seem amused by that insult at all

 

[Warsaw]

Do I hear right? Tattoos play a part in the umpired deciding votes?

Tony Sheahan at his best

Agree. Why do they persist with Hysteria and his schoolboy antics? Get some sports on when the AFL finishesFFS!

 

[peternorth]

great "good oil" today. live at the saints press conference.

then after 3 it was views on the news time. awesome!!! play snippets of the presser in between thompson and doran asking rhetotical questions about the event.

FFS why not just replay the whole pharquin conference again?

 

[Hawthorn United]

Now there's an "investigation" into whether GAblett Jnr took a sip of booze during his toast.
