Important SN update for SouthlandSEN claims No 1 spot for sport podcasting
SEN • June 2nd, 2025 12:19 pm
Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) has once again cemented its position as the home of sport in Australia, topping the latest Podcast Ranker results as the #1 in sport for both consumption and downloads.
Once again, SEN had nine of 40 (23%) sports podcasts in the Australian top 200, including the top two most downloaded sports podcasts: SEN Breakfast (1,141,101 downloads) and Whateley (611,551). SEN also had a 35% share of downloads amongst Australian podcasts in the top 200.
In April alone, SEN’s podcast network recorded a unique audience of 717,856 and a staggering 3,438,216 total downloads, reflecting the growing appetite for premium sports content across the country.
In May, that unique audience of listeners grew to a massive 812,404, amassing 3,774,328 downloads. That is a record number of unique podcast listeners in a single month.
SEN’s dominance in the podcasting space is matched by an explosive start to the year in live sport streaming. Across SEN and AFL platforms, AFL live listening has reached 1.24 million streams up to Round 7, with fans consuming 24.62 million minutes of live content—a 23% year-on-year growth.
SEN is also proud to be the #1 stream by unique listeners on the AFL.com.au platform, reinforcing its leadership in delivering live footy coverage to fans wherever they are.
Meanwhile, SEN Stadium – SEN's own technology that gives fans a latency-free in-venue streaming experience - continues to surge in popularity, with a 221% year-on-year growth in in-stadium minutes streamed during the first seven rounds of the 2025 AFL season.
SEN is also coming off the back of a hugely successful implementation of three simultaneous streams from State of Origin Game 1 – live from Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane – which were available across the SEN network, as well as on SEN Stadium and SEN Sync.
Craig Hutchison, CEO of SEN, said he was thrilled that SEN’s podcasts and live sport streams were resonating with so many sports fans.
"We’re thrilled to see such strong engagement across both our podcasts and live streaming platforms. These results are a testament to the passion of Australian sports fans and the hard work of our incredible content and broadcast teams. Whether it’s on-demand or live, SEN is committed to delivering the best sports experience in the country."
With momentum building across all platforms, SEN is poised for another record-breaking year as the go-to destination for sports fans nationwide.
