History

[edit]
For the history of the station prior to 2003, see3AK.

The station first broadcast on 29 November 1931 as 3AK.[1] In October 2003, amid growing debt and struggling ratings, 3AK operatorsData & Commerce Limited placed the station up for sale.[2] In November, owners Data & Commerce Limited entered into a lease with the newly formed Sports Entertainment Network to create SEN 1116, a 24-hoursports radio station. Headed by managing director Danny Staffieri, formerly ofFIVEaa, the new station was promoted as 'entertaining radio with a sports focus', and would rivalhorse racing stationSport 927.[3][4]

On 19 January 2004, SEN 1116 launched onto Melbourne's airwaves, with former AFL footballersGarry Lyon,Tim Watson andBilly Brownless heading the station's "Morning Glory" breakfast show,Richmond Football Club premiership playerKevin Bartlett in mornings,Radio National'sFrancis Leach in afternoons, andDermott Brereton andAnthony Hudson in drive.[5] In the year's first radio ratings survey, the station jumped from reaching 1.2% of the Melbourne radio market as 3AK, to 2.1% as SEN,[6] growing to 2.8% in the year's fourth survey despite the lack of coverage of any major sports.[7] However, in July, the station secured broadcast rights to the2004 Summer Olympics, alongside2GB,2CC,FIVEaa,6IX,HO-FM andHot 100, among others.[8] SEN also carried coverage of the2004 NRL Grand Final from 2GB, and the2004–05 FA Premier League fromBBC Radio 5 Live.

In December 2004, the SEN brand was revealed to be expanded intoAdelaide, with Sports Entertainment Network leasingnews talk5DN fromAustralian Radio Network to createSEN 1323.[9][10] Launching on 1 February 2005, the station became a simulcast of its Melbourne sister station, with only one Adelaide-based programme – "The Boys Next Door", hosted by former FIVEaa presenterMark Aiston,The Sunday Footy Show panelistMark Bickley andPort Adelaide Football Club ruckmanMatthew Primus. However, while the station remained flat in Melbourne, ratings dwindled in Adelaide; despite gaining coverage of theNew Zealand cricket tour of Australia and the2005 VFL season, Sports Entertainment Network enteredvoluntary administration, citing $3.5 million in losses.[11] The SEN 1323 lease was cancelled, resulting in ARN launchingeasy listening-formatCruise 1323.
