Ten’s Matt White and Matty Johns join SEN in Sydney
Ten’s former head of sport, Matt White, has joined radio station 1170 SEN in Sydney, ready for its launch later this year.
NRL.com reporter Katie Brown will also join the station to report on sport during the breakfast program with Andrew Voss. Former NRL player Matty Johns has also joined the station and will host breakfast on Fridays. Bryan Fletcher and Joel Caine will host drive and Jimmy Smith evenings.
I’m sorry, but isn’t it about time some journalist asked some serious questions about the financial stability of the Pacific Star Network, considering all the monetary outlay for licences/radio stations and high-profile presenters over the past 6 months? This at a time when the mainstream media industry, and radio in particular, is finding it very hard to exist due to the Covid pandemic. We’ve seen many media organisations cutting staff etc yet this company is only expanding. Who is providing the money and what is the financial rationale behind this expansion? That would be an interesting article to read as many people in the radio industry are seriously questioning where this will all end.
