SEN Spirit 621 AM will launch on Monday with a new look, new line-up and new sound.
Listeners can expect all the music they know and love, with a fresh injection of Australia’s other favourite pastime, sport.
SEN Spirit will become the new home of sport and music for listeners in the Southwest with a brand-new breakfast show hosted by presenter and commentator Tim Gossage alongside Bunbury local and former Hot FM and Radiowest presenter Naomi ‘Nay’ Pearce.
Pearce, who has been busy making dreams come true as a marriage celebrant for the past 12 years, said she can’t wait to return to radio, “I cannot wait to get back on the air and stir Gossie everyday. Radio has never left my veins and I look forward to re-connecting with my Southwest listeners and having an awesome time!”.
Pearce will also host Your Say with Nay, 10am -12pm each weekday.
Gossage was born in Bunbury, legend has it he was officially the last baby born in Stirling Hospital before it closed, so he’s rapt to be back on air in the Southwest and he says, “I’m always happy to tell the world I’m a Bunbury boy, and now to be part of the local community through this show is super exciting.”
Station favourite Ash ‘Dillo’ Dillon will host The Long Lunch with Dillo from noon and carry through for the drive home, happy he can now have a sleep-in and says, “After 12 years of 4.30am starts I’m pretty chuffed to be taking the reins for our listeners over lunch and the drive home.”
Dillo will also host Southwest Saturday with Dillo on Saturday mornings 8-11am, playing all the music from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s.
Following Dillo, Sportsday WA with former West Coast Eagles premiership player Karl Langdon and four-time Glendinning-Allan medallist and former Fremantle Docker Paul Hasleby, who will deliver all the day’s sports news, views and interviews, 5-8pm Monday to
Thursday.
Acclaimed sports broadcaster Gerard Whateley will also be heard live on SEN Spirit from 8-10am Monday-Thursday while early birds will catch Garry Lyon & Tim Watson live from 4-6am.
SEN Spirit will have live coverage of AFL matches via AFL Nation every round, including every Eagles and Dockers game.
They will also cover the 2020 State of Origin in November, plus Big Bash and the marquee matches from the Australian Open tennis over summer.
Station manager Travis Green said the new format would give listeners the best of both worlds. “WA is a great sporting state and, we love to get behind our local teams across all codes. It’s really exciting to be able to bring all the latest sports news, big name interviews and live action – while still delivering all the music that listeners have come to love from our station.”
