FOOTY on the radio in South Australia is set for a shake up, with Sports Entertainment Network to team up with ARN’s CRUISE 1323 in a landmark new footy deal.
SEN today confirmed it had elected to syndicate and sub-license a portion of its AFL radio AM rights with Adelaide’s hugely popular AM station, CRUISE 1323, for the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
From next season, three matches each weekend from SEN’s syndicated AFL Nation call will also be heard on CRUISE 1323, which is part of ARN’s Pure Gold Network.
Popular drive show Sportsday with Malcolm Blight and David Wildy will also move to CRUISE 1323, as well as being simulcast on SEN’s own SEN SA 1629am.
Sports Entertainment Network Chief Executive Craig Hutchison said the partnership was a big win for footy audiences in South Australia.
“To supply and partner Adelaide’s top rating AM station and have our AFL Nation calls heard across CRUISE 1323 for the first time is a tremendous outcome,” Hutchison said.
“At SEN SA 1629am we are about the fan and to take our calls to a whole new audience is a great outcome.”
ARN Chief Executive Officer Ciaran Davis added, “Sport is such a huge part of the Australian psyche, and we are so thrilled to cater to listeners wants and needs in Adelaide via this partnership with SEN.”
