SEN achieves more sports audience growth with podcast success

SPORTS Entertainment Network’s podcast growth continues to excel, with SEN achieving 657,374 unique listeners and over 3 million podcast downloads throughout the month of June, resulting in outstanding results in the recently released Australian Podcast Ranker.

The ever-popular SEN Breakfast program, hosted by Garry Lyon & Tim Watson, Tuesday to Thursday; Kane Cornes & Nathan Buckley on Monday and Kane Cornes & David King on Friday, maintains its mantle as the #1 most downloaded Australian sports podcast, and the #1 AM breakfast show in Australia in terms of downloads. It boasted 727,781 downloads in Australia, from a unique audience of 186,567 unique listeners.

This is off the back of the breakfast line-up achieving the highest breakfast ratings in the history of the station, where the show achieved its highest breakfast share with a 5.2% share among All People 10+.

Whateley sits just behind as the #2 most downloaded Australian sports podcast, and the rise of both Sportsday and Crunch Time demonstrate how an AFL hungry audience continues to grow as we get to the pointy end of the 2024 season.
