Loved Finey, could be abrupt at times, but was a footy lover and had an interest in lower level footy

Bring back finey and the lawyer

Listening to the cricket in the car today was the first time I’ve used my radio in six months.

I’m just all in on podcasts now.

I gave Finey his first break on radio,  on a Sports Show I did with WJ and former Demon Trevor Korn and the Lawyer Steven Peak is a mate and partner in a racehorse with me.

I had to push the dump button and erase several swear words from Finey. He did know his sport however.

Where is finey now broke and homeless?

The man with an account on an MFC supporting website asks if he is normal. (laughs hysterically while foaming at mouth)

He owned a bit of SEN so not broke.

Some respect please Redleg. It was actually not “former Demon Trevor Korn” at all but his late brother Greg Korn, a fine cricketer in his day. I think Peaky was on radio but not a regular - the other person was our panel operator and compere Brendan Luno who was an amateur footballer. And let’s not forget Derby Dave who dazzled us with his horseracing tips. Finey’s forte was his impersonations and his best was of the uncle of Pakistani right arm leg spinner Abdul Qadir who described giving an LBW decision in favour of his nephew for a ball that pitched a foot outside off stump.

We were on 3CR which was run by Bill Hartley and because of his far, far left bent, he had little understanding of our programme which was basically full of bullshit about sport and that description  just about matched his political beliefs.

Unfortunately, Bill seemed to approve more of programming which included shows like the Rastafarian hour which immediately preceded our time slot so that by the time our show came on air, the studio was full of hazy fumes that definitely affected our output and content. The Rastas also supplied the studio receptionist so we had a few interesting moments with crossed lines on our talk back calls.
 
We were eventually unceremoniously discontinued and replaced by an all female programme the content of which I never understood but I believe had something to do with a Greek island called Lesbos. I think it was 3CR’s loss because we were one of their highest rating shows (which isn’t saying much).

I quite like Maher and Murphy combo but I'm only a very occasional SEN listener ie trade week.

SEN has invested heavily in Lyon and Watson, Whately and now Russell. Its yet to be seen if that investment will generate ratings boost that allows a commercial return on that investment. The AFL/NRL divide makes national sports radio/tv shows more of a challenge than in more homogeneous sporting markets ie US. Be interesting to see what ratings SEN generate outside of Victoria and how they monetise that with national advertisers or insert local.

Sad, but I find Lyon and Watson must listen and amusing, Whately top of his game and well informed , Then switch off.

In the old days, Dermot Huddo and Hardy were great, as was Mark Fine. But that's all over now.

Pity the advertisers after 12.00  (if they stick around that is.) These sorts of stations need personality and top class broadcasters to keep the listeners (as per my comments on pre-Noon programs.).

 

 

Did anyone hear Chris from Camberwell on Thursday night?

Close but no cigar. I believe the Toumpas family were from Cyprus and I don’t think he would be related to the ladies I referred to.

I can’t believe I mixed that up. The late great Greg “nightlife “ Korn was a star of the show.

I used to often listen to “The Lesbian Hour” on 3CR back in the ‘80’s with a little green herb rolled up to enhance the experience!!

Oh, baby! Fire starter! Take the kill shot from the paint!
