He sounds like a 10 year old. I find it quite sad. 

But he has certainly ripped the place apart. 

To me Breakfast radio is the heart of the place. Get that right and the rest follows

Hutchison has made a mistake there. 

But, SEN is a niche market so time will tell

The picture of Hutchison in todays HUN on page 17 makes me want to vomit profusely. 

His wage is $883,752 a year!!

boycott that organization

Still the only millionaire I know of whose car is still strewn with Macca's boxes and take out bags.

I expect nothing less from such a class act. 

To sack radio people en masse weeks before christmas is just downright low. 

Contracts are usually finalized around August/Sept for the following year...

hope he is sued by all and sundry

SEN is owned by an ASX listed company. The Board of Directors is accountable to its shareholders and made what they presumably think is the right decision to merge with Crocmedia and install Hutchison as CEO. If the changes Hutchison makes don't work the Board would expect him to fix them and if he doesn't or can't shareholders would expect the Board to change the CEO. And if they don't the shareholders would likely change the Board. 

Keeping on air and off air people employed just because they are "good blokes" isn't the way to run a business. And neither is not paying people what they are owed. If Schwarz and Allen are owed money, they need to be paid. I would be very surprised, though, if employment lawyers weren't consulted by SEN before the terminations happened.

i'm sure if hutchy got the flick his contract would ensure a nice golden handshake. as for the mug punters who bought shares....well that would be a different story........but it is nice to see you have such confidence in public company corporate governance and the machinations of the stock exchange and shareholders' rights

Of course, my opinion would be completely different if we were talking about the big four banks!

If you don't like the management don't buy the shares. Simples.

absolutely, or sell the ones you already have

much easy than trying to change the ceo or sack the board as suggested

That's true for small shareholders. But fund managers with large holdings (for example, more than 10% of the company's shares which would, on today's valuation of Pacific Star Network, be worth over $3 million) might have enough clout to get changes made and may prefer to do that than sell.

That's exactly what they have done. The board selects the CEO. The Board of PSN clearly wanted change and installed Hutchy to make the changes. Aside from the personal toll on employees - which is clearly an issue - they are within their rights to do such a thing.

SEN is unbareable atm. Wheatley puts me to sleep and has no sense of humour and The doc and KB doesn’t work at in the arvo..

Tim Watson, Andy Maher & Mclure holding that station together..

I previously listened to KB on every morning. I rarely listed to any other shows on SEN other than Mark Allen's golf show early Sunday morning and Rodney Malcolm Hogg at 1pm Tuesday arvo (cricket season)  Have switched off completely. The amount of ads seems to have increased. Not sure about calling a show 'Whateley'.

Well the station needs ads without ads there is no radio station, unlike THE ABC which has public funds, so if you only want the ABC to be the only station calling football then put up with the ADs


what's d schwarz up to now? got a new gig eh?

I certainly won’t be listening to SEN

Hutchison can go f himself. 

For him to keep his own drivel on air Saturday morning, whilst getting rid of Mark Fine, The Ox, Matt Granlin just shows his own ego is the main benefactor. 

I will observe from a distance with interest

At least Stephen J Peake has been booted. 

That is one positive!

Ripper headline out of the UK earlier this week about possible trade retaliation against US tariffs: "We'll put a levy on your Chevy and tax your whiskey and rye."

 

The most recent radio ratings are out. Herald Sun is reporting that while Garry Lyon and Tim Watson increased their ratings, the newer appointments  (Whately, Andy Maher, KB and Dr Turf) all went backwards compared with the last ratings period for the same timeslots. Keep in mind that SEN traditionally has a seasonal shift (improvement) when the footy season is in full swing and possibly even during the draft and trade periods which might have helped the last ratings period.

And because we've had some great headlines in this thread, following recent events in Washington:

Sadly I’m no longer in the headline writing business, but if anyone wants to use “Tyrant is sore at Rex” today, they are welcome to it.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
