Although I am sick of the whole Margaret thing, I heard hutchy and pickers saying she is 93 yrs old. I thought she was 60s or 70s at most. It sort of now makes me think a little differently of her and now I find her some what endearing for a lack of a better word. I think of my nan a few years ago at 93 and she was not all there so it's sort of nice to see her expressing opinions. Old people at that age do get a bit 'Look at me, look at me' Willing to give her some slack but all the hosts could still tone it down a fair bit.

Those scenes from the MCG of people watching the Matlidas game on the screens are right in Gerard's wheelhouse- he loves that kind of stuff. I think it's $1.01 odds he asks for people to call in this morning to tell the story of where they watched it.

it was an amazing night encompassing australia and australians coming together for a common cause.
 
I had issues yesterday afternoon when listening to the Hawthorn v Bulldogs match. There was something else playing in the background. It went on for ages, they finally fixed it just before I was about to change stations (was on both the app and the actual radio station). Why does it take so long to rectify these things? Very sloppy.
 
Bedford, how are you coping with all this soccer talk on SEN?

Gerard & Crash chatting about the WWC and EPL for almost an hour this morning. Crash giving the sport a crack every four years.

Yeah - at one stage they had the solemn land acknowledgement going and then it got interrupted by an add for Dabble being blasted over he top of it.

All I know is that I bought a handful of shares at 0.27 cents and now worth 0.18. With all the sports happening now SENs ratings are dismal in Melbourne. No idea what they are across the country but a 30% drop in a share price is not good.

This is from The Australian:


'On the face of things, former journalist and latter-day entrepreneur Craig Hutchison fronts one of the fastest-growing media empires in the country. But amid all of Hutchison’s wins that generate plenty of publicity in the Melbourne media, there have also been some very real losses in recent months. The most obvious has been in the share price of his ASX-listed company, Sports Entertainment Group (SEG), where Hutchison is CEO and major shareholder, which has dropped to all-time lows of 18c over the last fortnight.

Indeed, in the last year, the market value of SEG –- which holds all of Hutchison’s key media assets, including 69 sports radio stations in Australia and New Zealand, sporting teams, a talent management agency, and a TV production business –- has dropped by close to 36 per cent, from $75m to just over $48m. When The Australian contacted him about the share price fall last week, he made it clear he believed there was “undiagnosed value” and “blue sky” in the brands established by his listed company. “We’re builders, and we’re actively looking to build the business,” he told The Australian. “Given the global valuation of sports teams, I believe there is a significant amount of undervaluation of our teams strategy. We’re being built for a bigger, broader day.”

But some obvious growing pains are evident. SEG’s share price fall to 18c came soon after the company quietly disclosed, in June, a downgrade in its pre-tax earnings for its forthcoming full-year results this month, in the fourth paragraph of a “FY23 Company Performance Guidance”. “The significant investment (costs) of establishing new assets in Sydney, Queensland and particularly New Zealand is a key driver of the decrease in underlying EBITDA on the (previous corresponding period) and our previous guidance,” the ASX update stated. However, the company also shed a positive light on that blip: “We expect the operating cost base in both the Australian and New Zealand segments are now largely normalised, providing the opportunity for operating leverage as revenue continues to grow.”

The company’s note to the ASX came in the wake of its half-year earnings result in February, which saw a $1.96m bottom-line profit for the same period a year earlier turn into a $1.16m bottom- line loss, as well as a $10m blowout in debt to $21.7m. The company, however, claimed the rise in debt was not of concern: “SEG remained in compliance with banking covenants during the period. $3.2m of undrawn funds remained available as at December 31, 2022,” the company stated.

Hutchison told The Australian that the company’s phase of rapidly expanding the SEN radio brand through acquisition and debt was now complete. “Our house is built now in audio,” he said. “The footprint of our Australian and New Zealand stations and audio distribution is complete. It’s a really valuable future network across sport and racing that we look forward to extracting value from for years to come.”

The radio network’s revenue staple is seen to be the explosion in sports gambling advertising in recent years. But advertising still needs listeners, and Hutchison will be looking to improve the network’s current ratings. In the latest July radio ratings survey, there was a wide variation in the network’s listenership – from a battling 0.5 percent in SEN 1170 in Sydney, to 0.8 percent for SEN 693 in Brisbane, and a more respectable 3.1 percent for its flagship Melbourne station which features as its star Gerard Whateley.

Despite its rising debt, the company continues to be on the hunt for new opportunities. Late last month, it was announced that Hutchison had won the race to take over the Melbourne netball licence dumped by Collingwood in May, reportedly because it was haemorrhaging money. The as-yet unnamed new team – to be based in Melbourne’s southeast – will be Hutchison’s first move into netball, to accompany his four basketball franchises in Australia and New Zealand. Hutchison believes that despite Collingwood’s struggles, the Melbourne netball franchise is a “fantastic opportunity” to build on his growing teams business. “It will be our first of many moves into netball,” he said.

Despite the doubters, Hutchison has a seemingly unshakeable belief that the market will eventually understand the value he sees in the company: “We’re an amalgamated whole-of-sports solution business: we’re in audio, video, snackable content, podcast franchises, production services, talent management and owning teams. And we’re committed for the long term.”

And there lies the problem

Hutchy is essentially trying to make profit out of anything and everything sport related in sports that here in this country doesn’t have the over flowing support or sponsors. As good and much better NBL has been for the last few years, it won’t be as big as NBA. As popular as netball is.. ok, well Diamonds winning WC barely getting mentioned anywhere what more can be said?

The downfall if/when it happens will be due to growing too fast into a market that’s not ready to be profited from. If ever.

Yup therein lies the problem; despite my shareholding, modest as it is, I have never received a single communication from it. Who knows how much Healy, Paine, Whateley..are paid. I hope Maher is earning less than 100k because he is one of the worst broadcasters I have ever had the misfortune to listen to.

You should be receiving routine correspondence from any listed company that you own shares in. Financial statements, proxy voting forms,, quarterly updates etc.

First thing to do is log into Computershare and make sure that your details are accurate and that you can see your investment in SEG. You can then choose how/what to receive information on.

SEG will have an AGM in the coming months after their 2022/23 results are released. You can participate in this meeting, it will probably be over Zoom. Pose a question or two to management!

The spreads offered by blue chip companies at their AGMs were a sight to behold. Would love to know if they’re still like that.
