Why should she alienate a portion of TA's support base by being prejudicial and homophobic? So people have different sexual preferences, live with it.
Why cant YOU accomodate both points of view? Its a non event, a tennis player.

Having an opposing point of view (anti gay marriage) and being homophobic and anti gay people are two different things. As for a non-event because she's a tennis player, bigotry is never a non-event no matter who is displaying it.

Yep people and organisations have different views and beliefs and can decide if they would like to give people a microphone to represent them at their events. It's pretty simple. If people want the freedom to say whatever they want then people and organisations have the freedom to ignore them. Tennis Australia are not the ABC. They have no charter dictating that they have to give each side of a contentious social debate an equal say. They have the freedom to make a decision. If you don't like it, don't live in a liberal democracy. Deal. With. It
And give something for Heverin.

He had a segment last week along the lines of "nominate a player who you saw at early age and knew he’d be a star"
Someone had twitter battle with him and he didn't like it. Gossage on again today was very good again.
Ben Oxenbould to get a shift?

Can you believe lyon and watson did the same segment today?
I've given up completely on RSN, sorry, I meant SEN, until next footy season - but if anything worthwhile pops up, I'm sure I'll read about it here. 
SEN is one part of Pacific Star Network & Hutchy is not the major shareholder - here is an investor presentation from October 1, 2019, if its of interest
Will they bid for the Olympics & sub it out:
For the first time since 1952, the ABC will not have a live radio broadcast of the Olympic Games, with the national broadcaster opting against buying the non-commercial radio rights for Tokyo 2020.
On-the-attack AOC calls ABC decision not to buy radio rights for Tokyo Olympics 'short-sighted'
Next year's Tokyo Olympics will mark the first time since the 1952 Helsinki Games that Australia's national broadcaster will not have live radio coverage of the event, with the AOC slamming the decision as "monumentally short-sighted".www.abc.net.au
It'll be interesting to see what SEN do.
Whateley would have expected to have been part of the Seven coverage just a few weeks ago, so with a renewed focus SEN may splash out and send him over to cover the main events. If they want to be a serious sports station, they've gotta do it. Send Gary and Tim over as well to do breakfasts and get a few experts. Leave the crap-talkers at home.
The ABC have played this beautifully too, in political terms. The horrendous budget-cuts are only just starting to play out and they've gone with the big bat straight away to let the public know it's serious. I wouldn't be surprised if the political pressure mounts and a few envelopes are found to change the decision.
Worth remembering - Foxtel received $35 million from this federal government a couple of years ago to promote 'women's sporting coverage'. I doubt it would cost the ABC a tenth of the price to cover the Olympics.
SEN is a non event low rating station that appeals to a very narrow market.
I've got a dodgy conspiracy theory about why Pickers keeps mentioning Finey on Off The Bench. Ratings wise, Hutchy perhaps realises that dumping Finey was his biggest mistake by MILES, and has mumbled stuff to Pickers such as, "hmm, gee, I had no idea the evening audience would plummet so much. Hmm, I dunno about that decision".... etc, and Pickering saying stuff like, "bring back Finey, for God's sake!!" is a way of softening Hutchy's decision to, in fact, bring Fine back.
Pickers saying to bring him back opens the door for Hutchy to say something along the lines of: "ya know, Pickers, after you badgered me over and over about returning Mark Fine, it made me think about it. I decided to listen to you, and have opened discussions with Finey about a possible return to SEN."
So, if Hutchy did bring him back, he could spin it like, "old mate Picks, I've listened to you, and done you a favour,,,,,blah blah", instead of, "I monumentally fakked up sacking Finey and, in a desperate measure to get back the moderate audience he had, I'm admitting I was wrong.
Whadda yooz reckon?

Ratings are out, it looks to me like SEN have dropped but I am sure Hutchy will find some positive.
When you see the ratings you realise how big and influential stations like 3AW are. They have almost five times the market share of SEN.

Poor ratings results for SEN in Survey 7.
Survey 7 ("This") covers Sunday Sept 29 to Saturday Nov 2.
Survey 6 ("Last") covers Sunday Aug 18 to Saturday Sept 21.

Post has been edited with those details (hopefully accurate).
For what it's worth, here are the comparable ratings for Survey 7 in 2017 vs Survey 7 in 2019 (the last year before Finey, KB, Marco & Ox were booted).
Breakfast: 3.5 ---> 3.8
Morning: 4.8 ---> 3.2
Afternoon: 3.3 ---> 2.9
Drive: 3.6 ---> 3.3
Evening: 3.5 ---> 2.1
Weekend: 2.8 ---> 2.6
Total: 3.7 ---> 3.2
Maybe not the best survey period to do a direct comparison, as SEN presenters often take leave after the AFL season ends.

Thansk. yep survey 7 starts the day after the GF.
I'm guessing, but more people would be listening to the ad-free podcasts more now than 2 years ago as well.
I get to an extent what Hutchy says when defending ratings results but regardless to have an overall share of just over 3% is poor no matter which way you look at it.
Breakfast and morning shifts which is where they have their highest paid talent have small numbers.
To have a percentage below 3% in a few shifts would be a worry.
Trade radio would of had an impact but in a commercial sense having a small audiance split across so many mediums is not a good thing. In the end it is still a small audiance.

The current owners got what they paid for. Sports radio is a niche, listened to by a small group of people.
The problem is the small sports market in NSW & Qld wont listen to AFL footy, does SA?

ouch, those are some terrible results but I can't say i'm surprised and i honestly see any way SEN are going to stop the slide of listeners leaving without some serious investment in new 'talent' in 2020. and then some promotion to let the greater public know that SEN still exists.
I told ya all that they should talk more motor racing.
11;30am, Gerard brought it up, and it was followed by a flood a calls with listeners expressing their opinions and passion.
Unfortunately for me, the racing Gerard brought up was the lame mardi gras known as Supercars
