@Mike: While SEN may have a lower overall audience in the big cities they broadcast to due to more competition from other radio stations, the AFL Nation coverage is distributed/syndicated to many other radio stations across Australia in all states and territories (except the A.C.T and adjacent NSW border towns and villages), therefore the total audience listening to many games across Australia is bigger than you may realise.
