Information About

Sen 1116




SEN began in late January 2004 . While initially, ratings were steadily rising, the station's financial position took a turn for the worst in early 2005, with several employees, including Dermott Brereton , Mark Doran , and Robert Shaw not being paid. This eventually led to Brereton walking out on the station. This dour financial situation could not have come at a worse time, since SEN had recently begun broadcasting into Adelaide early in 2005. Unfortunately, the lack of funds meant that midway during 2005 only Melbourne were being broadcast to.
