JV on long service leave

Sport 927's John Vertigan, currently on long service leave from the

sights of Manhattan, Pheonix and rural midwest locations such as
Evansville, Louisville (home of the Kentucky Derby) and Lexington, Kentucky.
It's reported that he had a reasonable winning day at Arlington Park
races, Chicago last week. John returns to the Sport 927 racing desk on
Wednesday June 23.

Steve Speziale joins 4BC

Former Melbourne based (Mix101.1) Steve Speziale has joined 4BC as News Director.

Radio 2 calling AFL

In Melbourne another radio station is broadcasting Saturday and Sunday AFL Football. The SEN folk could not get the AFL for the season - but
it appears that RADIO 2 with its SYDNEY football coverage of SWANS
matches is beaming this coverage into Melbourne, even when Melbourne teams
feature.RADIO 2 has the rights in SYDNEY not in Melbourne and It could be seen to unfair that SEN can't have the AFL when RADIO 2 can broadcast their Sydney coverage into Melbourne. Maybe SEN (and others party to AFL coverage) may get a little cheesed off !

John Vertigan clocks up 49 years

John Vertigan celebrated 49 years in radio on the 30TH of May. John is the voice of Sport927 and is well respected by all in the industry. We say well done JV as you enter your 50th year of broadcasting.

This could be huge!

Macquarie Bank's grab for RG Capital has prompted speculation they will also chase DMG Regional Radio as its next big media asset. The outcome to something like this is scary yet a real possibility.

SE ... where

Interesting Action Indoor Sports have recently spent a number of dollars advertising their business on SEN1116. Some of the centres are even supporting SEN posters on their walls yet at least one of those centres has no idea where to find the station on the radio dial. All you will hear is FOX.
