Nathan Buckley’s cut-through opinions, observations, expertise and insights are set to remain accessible to SEN’s audience and fans - with the Collingwood great recommitting for a further two years.
After a highly successful first season in radio post his coaching career whet his appetite, Buckley had elected to extend his commitment to SEN for a further two years.
Buckley will remain heard each Monday morning on SEN during the next two footy seasons between 6 and 9am. He’ll also remain alongside Gerard Whateley each Tuesday morning from 9am during “Whateley”.
Buckley said he had embraced radio over the season and was delighted to continue.
“I’ve really enjoyed 2022 with SEN and working alongside some of the most experienced and respected media personalities in the game. Mornings with Garry and with Gerard have been enlightening and absorbing. I’ve learned a lot,” Buckley said.
“I believe anyone with a media platform carries a great deal of responsibility. Providing context underneath the headline is crucial in a longer form setting and bringing this perspective to the passionate listeners of SEN has been a privilege I have enjoyed.
“In the coming years I hope to continue to provide this perspective and prosecute the headline or opinion that can quite quickly ignore the reality underneath….”
SEN Chief Executive Officer Craig Hutchison said Buckley’s commitment was a great result for the SEN audience.
“Bucks made an immediate impact on SEN within his first year, and we are rapt we get to build on that for the years ahead,” Hutchison said.
“While Nathan’s credentials speak for themselves, it’s his difference and unique football and sport perspective – combined with an increased quest to reveal more of himself and share his own journey – which has really connected with our audiences around the country.
“We are delighted to extend together and make Monday mornings the must listen to environment in AFL football.”
Further details of SEN’s breakfast strategy in 2023 will be announced in coming weeks.
