Reports talk about how Hutchys SEN was on the ropes facing oblivion with just $1.25M of liquidity left, when a white night bailed him out with a line of credit. But how long will that last?
Oh dear, with such a diabolical financial situation, how will he pay Gerard, Tim and Garry"s salaries, who will pay for Gerard to go to the superbowl, and most of all who will stump up Hutchy’s pay.
SEN is looking shaky. Very shaky. Some big changes coming I think. Some of the “stars” might see the writing on the wall and jump.
Where to, though? There’s a whole lot more aging footy players wanting a media job than there is available gigs, especially if opportunities dry up at the one media outlet that broadcasts about footy all the time.
I mean if you want to listen to music these days there are tons of places to go and the radio is at the bottom of the list. If anything talkback/sports broadcasts stations like SEN are one of the only reasons to listen to the radio.
The major thing that turned me off SEN is the one thing they constantly talk about…footy. When they had more balance to their programming and had features and segments with regular guests for ALeague, NBL, EPL, US sports etc, evening programs with quizzes and the like it was entertaining and insightful. Now because it’s all footy, it’s the same topics and discussion regurgitated 24-7 just with different presenters hosting it.
Yes but that’s because 90 percent of their audience are footy fans and they know it.
Sen in Sydney is the worst though, i think the words swans, giants or AFL are banned on the station, it’s the most anti AFL station in the state. They give C grade sports a run, but don’t dare mention the biggest sport in the country. So much for the afl thinking they’d have an ally to give the game a bit of promotion in Sydney, fat hutchie had other ideas, it’s almost as if he’s going out of his way to pretend he isn’t an afl person up there, embarrassing to say the least.
SEN sacking staff. CH10 also. Apparently both FTA TV and radio are no longer the goose laying golden eggs. Hutchy advising staff of their sackings while he was at the super bowl. Tone deaf.
