Radio The SEN Thread 7

[peternorth]

would have loved another US sports show from 11pm with NFL, NBA and college fb and bb coming up as well as baseball playoffs

BUSA was a popular show wasnt it? i listened every now and then, but not religiously.

only thing is, it would take an hour away from rehashing the major afl stories of the day. you know, the ones that are raised during KBs show, then harfs, then at 3pm during the SEN news hour, again on the run home and partially during fineys show.

SEN's greatest ever quiz returns.

hope so!

A guy who likes the sound of his own voice, likes to make himself sound important and can be quite obnoxious and nasty to some callers..has a real spiteful streak in him..

Just a shame he has put together a show (during the week) that has some very interesting segments/people on it....I listen very reluctently....

I have stopped listening to him after the footy, and his sunday morning show..

Seems like an accurate summation MacMum.

I had never heard of this bloke until I started listening to SEN. He seems very smug when St Kilda win. Very hard to listen to.

call up and answer "bruce eva" i think

Or Fineys wife.

 

[beez]

Lets hope people don't ruin the quiz.

I've only just noticed that they've ditched the interminable Sports Upate (aka 'sports repeat 6 times every morning for two minutes each time') every half-hour on the morning show! Well done! Hopefully it was decision based on sense, rather than them losing an advertiser

God help us! That's the sort of stuff we don't want

Within 15 minutes, SEN covers the best and worst of their weekly programming:

The best - live-cross to Tony Veitch of Radio Sport NZ

The worst - speaking to Rebecca Wilson in Sydney

Is there no one else in Sydney they could talk NRL with?

Yeah, she comes across as a dumb bogan

SEN went up again in the ratings

Well finey not doing any better, he has great segments but i wish he go back behind the panel and find a better host.

Not sure if serious.

Fineys show is the 3rd highest AM rating show in its timeslot. Well above what everyone would have hoped for.

 

[metallichris]

At the end of every news segment:

"It's four and a half past five."

Four and a half? Really? Is that necessary?!

 

[MacMum]

Haha...I thought that too!

 

[diesel_85]

love the station, its all i listen to
not even sure if my car picks up FM anymore!

re: finey, i totally agree that he can be hard to listen to, and can be ridiculously short with callers who he doesn't agree with, which is a shame.
The other bloke who is near on impossible to listen to is Martin Pyke.... what a shocker he is, stuttering and stumbling monotone of a guest, also a shame as some of the things he struggles to get out can actually be pretty insightful

Bloody annoying that SEN is doing the crap horse racing again

There's a reason that horse racing has it's own Foxtel station and doesn't get confused with Fox Sports 1/2/3.

Melbourne has its own horse racing radio station, SEN does not need to double up.

I'm turning off.

^ Yeah, boo!! But it's only slightly worse than last week when Matt Thompson was on all afternoon

 

[stmookeyj]

Well what else is on? Surely talking about the same things over and over ad nauseum does get boring after a while.

How about do as ABC Grandstand does? General sports coverage, maybe 20 minutes here and there about everything.

Let's see. Davis Cup, NRL, A-League, Commonwealth Games, Champions League T20, MLB, Spring Carnival, Formula 1, MotoGP, ...

SEN is not a well-rounded sports station. Huge blocks of AFL and horse racing get tedious.

ABC had a 2hr Collingwood show today

it's good to hear bryan martin back on the radio, the downside is richo commentating on the horses as well.

 

[MacMum]

Richo knows his stuff with racing...very knowledgable..

Is also a commentator on Foxtels TVN horse racing channel..

 

[peternorth]

so to summarise sen

too much afl
not enough afl
not much soccer
not enough soccer
too much horse racing
too much boxing
too much athletics
etc

well aware of his pedigree and his knowledge but geez he can crap on

 

[peternorth]

well aware of his pedigree and his knowledge but geez he can crap on

when he talks about horseracing does he slip in some athletics talk?

 

[jinny1]

Stephen J Peake is funny as...!

Dermott Brereton is the best game analyser imo....
