The SEN Thread

[PLSC]

sen sucks bigtime

the only good thing is the weekend morning shows, the rest of the hosts are nerds

 

[My North]

Kooley if you are well up with what happens at SEN who will be there front line football commentators when they get the football , which they will .

Rex Hunt had a dig on the weekend naming his boring football commentators and the two he named from SEN were Andrew Maher and Mark Doran .

So Kooley tell us more who will be the commentators at SEN
( might make a difference to whether i get back there one day so i would love to know )

Rippedoff will conitune to bag SEN if you manage to work back there?? You would have to a lot of sucking up by your previous posts

I heard that there will be some news on the rights from next week. I can confirm the existence of the A & B packages and that one current station may be looking to tone down their coverage level.

SEN tip to win deal
22 August 2006 Herald-Sun
Damian Barrett

THE share price of the parent company of radio station SEN has risen more than 300 per cent in the past two months in speculative buying related to the broadcasting of AFL matches from next season.

Pacific Star Network's Australian Stock Exchange price closed at 9 cents last night, having dropped to 2.4 cents in mid-June.

The 24-hour all-sports station is vying with 3AW and Triple M for the licences to broadcast AFL for 2007-09.

AFL chief executive Andrew Demetriou said last night resolution on the contracts was some weeks away.

Commercial networks are each being asked to pay about $800,000 a year for a premium package in the next AFL deal.

The premium option would involve covering Friday night games, the "best" Saturday matches and a Sunday afternoon fixture.

The secondary package incorporates Friday nights as well as "lesser" Saturday and Sunday matches, including new Sunday twilight games.

Non-commercial ABC Radio is expected to retain access to all quality matches at a dramatically reduced price.

SEN general manager Barry Quick said the share price rise was due to many factors.

"There are a myriad of reasons for the jump in share price and, in the first place, it was grossly undervalued," he said. "There has also been some speculation in relation to AFL rights and we have put a range of options to the AFL and we are waiting to hear back.

"Thirdly, the potential changes to media cross-ownership laws next year has also come in to play."

SEN, launched in early 2004, has been strongly tipped to gain part of the AFL rights.

Its parent company recently informed the stock exchange it would "undertake an equity raising upon reaching an outcome to the AFL discussions".

In the past 12 months, Demetriou had indicated the AFL had analysed buying equity in SEN, but he indicated last night such an arrangement was unlikely.

what a joke this has become. talk about long winded.

 

[rippedoff]

some executive named Quick was quoted in the paper as saying that SEN is undervalued well Mr Quick you have arrived on the scene well after my time at SEN and let me tell you that it is the station staff that are the ones undervalued and as soon as the AFL are on board make it your priority to restore the salaries of many of the SEN team to what they were.
Alot have taken pay cuts and some of those that I know at the station are working for a lot less than when they first started at SEN and now deserve to be paid what they are worth.
If SEN are to be the major football radio station then make sure Mr Quick that the staff are paid what those at the major football station should be paid.
Staff are the key to any successful business and they have to be rewarded for hard work , pay cuts got the station back on its feet and now should be a thing of the past .

RippedOff, when I was 6 a kid stole my ice cream. In an attempt to rectify this misjustice I too will be constantly posting on Bigfooty about this despite:

1. No one caring
2. 0% chance of anything changing because of these postings.

.....

 

[PLSC]

after about 5pm you can get it on a regular basis, anytime before that and it's all hit and miss

 

[MagpieScouser]

can we get a decent picture of rita pannehey on the website?

all they show is her side on and the back of her head

 

[Daytripper]

Please SEN,
Get rid of Bill Brownless. Its beyond embarassing now.

This morning they had Gian Rooney on for her weekly spot. Now I assume the only reason she is on the show is to attract more female listeners.

They were talking about the most dangerous sports in the world when Bill pops up with '****-fighting' along with that stupid giggle of his. Fortunately they moved along quickly.
Five minutes later Bill mentioned that they should refer to Gian's segment as the G-spot.

Way to go Billy. Firstly, you've just marginalised any female listeners that may have have tuned in and secondly that kind of humour is just pathetic and childish.

The morning show is the most important for any radio station and unfortunately The Morning Glory consistently lets SEN down.

 

[peternorth]

the morning crew argues that its a light hearted show and is meant to be funny. but it doesnt make sense, billy isnt funny nor does he offer any intelligence to the panel - he knows footy and thats it. sadly i feel tim watson is heading down the path as well, although i can put up with his humour.

Seems like a daily thing where billy cant pronounce suburb names. how hard is it to say Montmorency?

billy was defending tarrant's actions by saying hes a country boy and he likes a drink. forget that its tarrant for a start, and focus on the pathetic excuse. please, a country boy! lame.

 

[Kooley]

billy = fence sitter

 

[rippedoff]

mulholland , you have confused my post as i was supporting the current sen team and was pushing up for them.
I have long given up like others on getting what i was owed , what i was saying if you read my last post is that if the station can now be bidding millions of dollars for football rights and it also has the AFL wanting to be a part of it then maybe it is time the current sen mgt looked at restoring some of the salaries back to what they were before many took paycuts.
It is well known that people like Watson , Doran , Eva , KB , and on and on and on took cuts to their pay to get the station on its feet and I was saying that million dollar bids would be a fair sign that the station is on its feet by now.
When I was at sen we had to fill up time there were so few ads now every day it seems like advertisements are more than interviews so that also shows the station is doing well and if you read the post from the newspaper in this thread posted by rice paper it says the station shareprice has gone up 300 percent , s someone is making money out of the joint and i would like to see that go back to the most important people at sen the ones you hear every day.
Remember even though it must be fun for them to be talking about something they love , the Dorans the Evas the Hudsons , , the Watsons they have all done years of study , qualifications , they have built up their name through playing a sport and they just like accountants and doctors should get rewarded in the pocket .
They have expenses and costs too you know.
Another example when i was at sen each week you could count up of 20 to 30 that did things on the stations shows and didnt get a cracker and i am not talking about media students or those looking for experience these were regular journalists that were caled upon to help out in the hope that they might get looked after later on .....not just a few but 20 to 30 ..i am sure things have changed now and there wouldnt be too many you hear on sen doing it for the so called " love " these days ( cant pay your bills on love alone )
So mulholland you can make your sarcastic remarks but my whole post just like this one was to remind the current sen mgt not to go down the path of the former sen mgt and like tom cruise said to """ Show them the money**
If the station is back on its feet then look after those that have got it back on its feet..

 

[My North]

rippedoff how often do you listen to SEN. Do you ever call up and go on air?

 

[celtic_pride]

LOL Did I just hear one of the Four Diego's just drop the 'magic' word on air ???

 

[MrAaron]

The 4 Diegos are mostly liverpool Lovers. so maybe they did swear when Crouch got the leading goal

 

[My North]

Where the 7 second delay. Dont tell me there was no producer there to hit the button that stops the swearing

 

[Kooley]

the 4 diego's think their **** don't stink so they probably don't need a producer.

 

[My North]

The AFL have taken far to long to decide the radio rights. What are they waiting for. Give some games to SEN

 

[sarbbo]

Wonder what the hold up is? The AFL can't be that dumb that they can't make this decision in all the months they've had.

want more money, hope it backfires on them and the radio stations get it for a whole lot cheaper
