Radio The SEN Thread 10

[HBF]

any word from frank/ox about their positions next year? i mean lots of media talk about gary "depression" lyon and afl guys brother on mornings.

Breakfast needs an overhaul one way or another. Not sure what SEN were thinking putting Ox on that early.

 

[Dan Moody]

My sources tell me that the breakfast team haven't heard anything

Doesn't mean management won't strike without warning.
Mick and Chriso were told yesterday, finish up this Friday

Putting him on any primetime show

They were told they would finish at Xmas, but chose to pull the pin early.

 

[HBF]

Putting him on any primetime show

He didn't annoy me nearly as much on TRH. A bit more lighthearted is his go.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Ox isn't that good.

If Maher is gooooone. I'll actually think he's a bit stiff. Some criticisms of him may be justified. But I think he put in a bigger effort into his show than what harf did in his time.

 

[cartel]

I don't think Maher is too bad when I listen at that time (rarely because normally at work), but he needs to cut the waffling.

I agree that Maher would be stiff, especially if Mark Allen manages to hold on to the drive slot. Maybe Francis Leach takes over from Maher? Back when the station started I thought Francis was excellent in the 12-4pm slot.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

I remember him being good back then as well. But as a listener. I think it'll be a step backwards if he took over the slot.

Any news on who their replacements will be

 

[yaco55]

The two Mick's nailed their breakfast show in 2016 - Ratings may have been low but that's the nature of working at RSN - Their replacements have big shoes to fill - Guess an Adam White will fill in for a short term basis and could be considered for the permanent gig - Harford would be a good get for the brekky program at RSN, as long as his co-host has a good sporting knowledge - I HOPE RSN continues with the serious nature of the program.

 

[MYOB]

Mick and Michael not on this morning. Have they finished already.

The host must have some knowledge of the racing industry

I reckon he found his groove in the afternoons - he was actually OK in the long form interviews. I don't mind him but he was pox in the mornings

 

[peternorth]

RSN during footy season is really good. interviews are professional, serious but lighthearted when appropriate. Questions are short and simple and allow the guest to respond and allow the interview to grow organically.

I fell asleep listening to them. Give me sport but give me opinion and personality as well.

 

[Bumpswithagrin]

I was also a fan of Christian and McGuane on RSN. Very pleasant to listen to first thing in the morning. Dissppointed they have been sacked but if Harf goes there then that would be OK.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Along with an earlier post ITT that alluded to it. An off hand comment by Maher today all but confirmed in my mind that he's gone.

 

[peternorth]

yes!

 

[Redline]

I think the station wants to shuffle things around a bit and Maher has been there a while so I expect he will be moved on. My guess

Breakfast - Hamish/ Lyon
Mornings - KB
Afternoons - Leach
Drive - Allan / Schwartz
Nights - Fine

They want to shuffle things round a bit, and yet they'll have three of the same slots as last year. Sounds about right.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

I'm not sure Leach would be an improvement in the afternoons. Even though as mentioned earlier, I remember him being good in 04. I'm not sure he's casual enough for the middle of the day.

Ox has to go though. No improvement in any facet of broadcasting. For the length of time he's been there and been in media, he should just be delisted. Not good enough to be serious. Doesn't really have the warmth for the lighter hours. Garbage as a commentator. There's nothing you're going to miss.

Loving the way KB is sledging him about the HI1.

 

[imadodgyumpire]

Just trying to think who could be good alternatives?

You'd think Teo could easily do midday, and go with the flow of the history of that slot?

Like with Harf and Marko and Finey. The newbies are promoted from within after doing a stint as a sidekick.

Darren Berry showed he could do something. I remember him saying he was nervous afterwards. But he was good filling in for Maher, and would only get better I reckon.

Would Jonathan Howcroft pull off being a no1 banana?

Tony Wilson. The Hawthorn guy?

Rob Waters? I don't think so. He doesn't come across as out going. To me anyway

Craig Harper? Meh.

Working at 7 may be a full on workload. But I'd be interested to see how Emily Angwin would go hosting a show?

 

[bedford]

Howcroft, couldn't stand him saying Buut 30 times an hour. Give the midday back to Harf.

this.
he's been there long enough to show some improvement but hasn't. mark doran wasn't given this long.
