Certified Legendary Thread 1116 SEN 2025 line up

[windyhill]

Did Dwayne go over or isn’t America ready for Dwayne yet?

Quarantined apparently.

 

[Pistol Night]

Quarantined apparently.

The Superbowl isnt ready for Shake and Bake and Off the charts yet

 

[thejester]

A dude from Aunty Donna opened his interview on the grade cricketer today by saying ‘we won the u19 World Cup, didn’t we? I was listening to SEN on the way over and someone’s grandma called in about it’, then revealed he’d called up trade radio in 2020 and asked ‘are north cooking up any trades, and have you heard any chatter from around the clubs about aunty donna’s new Netflix special?’ (and was taken seriously), then revealed he calls up SEN with nuff footy questions so often they’ve banned him.

If Hutchy can’t exploit the love of an internationally recognized comedian for some much needed coin he deserves to go bust

He was on with Dwayne for about half an hour into a few days ago, was an excellent chat and actually made me like Dwayne as he seemed like a genuine Donna fan.

 

[extractasam]

Never heard yank commentators use “in the pocket” or “in the shotgun” . Whateley loves it.

I actually rated it. He’s commentating to majority Aussie afl tragics like me and I understood exactly what he was describing

 

[XhazzafootyX]

Whose the Patrick mahomes of the afl

 

[lumpinee]

Surely I can’t be the only one that finds Buckley boring as bat s**t.

man i wanted to uppercut myself after 8 minutes this morning,had to turn him off,hes torture man,hes nice enough, he used to play @ times @ the cas n was never a 'do u recognise me' kinda bloke.i'll give him that,but geez he never leaves the script.only when hes playin tennis

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Thoughts on GW’s calling of the Super Bowl?

Was it worth Poindextar flying over for it?

 

[Seattle Mariners]

Did Dwayne go over or isn’t America ready for Dwayne yet?

I’d rather Dwayne call the Super Bowl than Gerard to be brutally honest.

 

[Tandy]

What's aunty Donna is that a tiktok thing. Was he having a lend during the interview and the host didn't know?

 

[revo333]

They use it all the time.

 

[Ashman23]

Especially when Dwayne mentioned wanting to play the 'Real Estate Agent' youtube clip on radio but thought better of it, lol.

How long have they been off air? There’s nothing on digital, and music on analogue

 

[Bristol]

Never heard yank commentators use “in the pocket” or “in the shotgun” . Whateley loves it.

These phrases are standard in NFL. It's the most common and basic description of where the quarterback is standing.

I must be listening to, viewing ,different broadcasts.

 

[Teagueeee15]

Quarterback stepping up “in the pocket” or Quarterback taking the snap “in the shotgun” is common and Gerrard correctly applied those terms in his call from what I could tell.

Was the best episode of Andy and Gazey I’ve ever heard!

 

[Big Bryza]

It's so cringeworthy listening to Gerald Whatley commentate the Superbowl. Stay in your lane, champ.

 

[peternorth]

Who’s got the best facilities?

 

[peternorth]

Thoughts about the breakfast shows lead in music ? I think it’s called “run away”

Craig Hutchison cuts staff from SEN radio amid Super Bowl broadcast​

Stephen Drill and Ben Butler, February 15, 2024 - 12:28PM

Radio producers were made redundant this week at SEN’s Melbourne studio as the company cuts cost to manage its $28.7 million debt with the Commonwealth Bank. A small number of staff have left the company but on-air programming was not part of the cuts.

It comes as Sports and Entertainment Group, which owns radio station SEN and a clutch of sports teams, raises money as the deadline to pay back the CBA approaches. SEG aims to raise $2.2m by selling a 3.9 per cent share of itself, receiving a first payment of $800,000 on Wednesday with the rest due on April Fools’ Day. Earlier this month, it reaped $1.5 million by selling a 3.75 per cent share of its sports teams, which include the Perth Wildcats and three other basketball teams, to investors including Hutchison’s friend and SEN radio presenter David “The Chief” Alcaro.

The company also made $1.5m by selling shares in itself in the last three months of 2023. As of the end of December the company had drawn down all but $1.25 of the $28.7m loan from the CBA, which is due to be repaid on August 31. SEG is “currently in negotiation regarding the extension of terms,” it told the ASX on January 31.

Hutchison’s company has breached its banking covenants, meaning the CBA could call the loan in at any time because its debt to value ratio was too high. It had $5 million cash at hand at the end of December, it told the exchange. Revenue was $42.6 million in the December quarter, with “net operating cash inflows of $2.6 million.” Hutchison declined to comment.

I warned a few mates who got gigs behind the scenes there to "always have your resume up to date".

The elephant in the room for SEN is where do they see an increase in revenue, in the near future?

They've got all the sports rights they can purchase. They've got the 'biggest names' in Australian Sports Talk that were available (and 'biggest names' is really a stretch). So, what do they have that can give them a significant, on-going increase in revenue?

I don't want to see people lose their jobs, but if Hutchy were to fail, I'd rather it happen fast, then get to a point where when the first owners of SEN had failed to pay staff and that dragged out for some time.
