The ex-ABC broadcaster makes his SEN AFL debut this weekend.

Melbourne's SEN is set to be rolled out nationally, after its merger with Craig Hutchison's Crocmedia is confirmed at a general meeting for shareholders of Pacific Star Network on Thursday. 

Gerard Whateley to lead commentary team. 

Following Craig Hutchison's SEN shakeup, three-time AFL premiership coach Malthouse has found a new home at the ABC, where he will do special comments for select games, mainly on Thursday nights, according to News Corp reports. 

After being sacked as Carlton coach, Malthouse joined SEN in 2016.

The departure of Gerard Whateley from the ABC has seen a reshuffle at the national broadcaster.  

Granland was told last week by SEN he'd no longer be calling games on Friday night, while he also lost weekend commentating spots and fill in roles during the summer.
 

In the two months since we reported the imminent merger of SEN owner Pacific Star and Crocmedia, the transformation of the sports station barrels ahead.

SEN General Manager Cathy Thomas has been made redundant as part of a range of changes being made at SEN, after the merger of parent company Pacific Star with CrocMedia last month.

Cathy Thomas has managed SEN for the past 18 months.
 

SEN has sacked the veteran broadcasters.

According to reports in the Herald Sun, Mark Fine's 13 years at SEN ended late yesterday after a phone call from management. Kevin Hillier has been with the station 11 years. 

Hillier posted on Facebook ​"It's funny really, in 45 years of radio I've only been sacked a few times but notched another up today. My time at 1116 SEN is over." 

"Been doing summers and fill ins since 2007, never wanted a full time gig.

The Hyundai A-League soccer is returning to 1116 SEN after a brief hiatus.

Crocmedia’s Football Nation call will make its 2017/2018 season debut this Saturday night for the Melbourne Victory versus Perth Glory clash at AAMI Park.

The Adelaide United versus Sydney FC match will air the next night.

A regular slate of Victory and Melbourne City matches will follow in the coming weeks as well as other marquee matches.
