Reporter

Sports Entertainment Network has secured the services of one of the industry’s most respected sport commentators, with Gerard Healy and Sportsday joining the SEN airwaves.

Adding more intrigue to the new Sportsday line up, Kane Cornes will co-host the program alongside Healy.

From November 1, Sportsday will appear as a two-hour program on SEN 1116am at the new time slot of 5.30pm, addressing all the daily sports news. Additionally, various stations throughout regional Victoria including the ACE Radio Network, KLFM and Voice FM will simulcast the program.

With Healy having hosted the show for 25 years and Cornes not afraid to express his strong opinions, the duo is set to continue the legacy of the program.

The drive program will also have a national reach, appearing in Tasmania on SEN Tassie 1629am and South Australia via SEN SA 1629am.

SEN Chief Executive Craig Hutchison says the combination of Healy and Cornes working side by side adds even more exclusive content for the SEN audience.

“Having Sportsday formally join the SEN platform is such a natural fit. While Gerard already has a strong connection to SEN via his commentary on Friday night football, we are delighted to expand his role for our listeners to hear his thoughts and takes during the week on Sportsday.”

“And Kane has been a breakout star in recent years – his opinions and observations always spark debate. Arguably no one’s views cut through and create more interest than Kane in AFL footy in 2022.”

“It is going to be an explosive combination for the SEN audience.”

Healy says he looks forward to further connecting with the SEN audience.

“It has been a real privilege to host Sportsday for 25 years, and I couldn’t be more excited for the program to find a new home at SEN. I’m looking forward to working with Kane, someone I have huge respect for, as we cover all the big issues across the AFL and sport in general throughout the SEN airwaves.”

Cornes is equally excited to partner with Healy.

“Gerard Healy is an icon of sports talk radio and it’s a privilege to partner with him on Sportsday on SEN.”
