Alastair Lynch has been announced as the new co-host of SEN Tassie Breakfast, joining Brent Costelloe on the Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) program following the departure of Tim Paine.
Paine left the show last month to become Head Coach of Australia A. His replacement, Lynch, is one of Tasmania’s most decorated athletes, known for his 17-year AFL career that included 306 games, 633 goals, and three premierships with the Brisbane Lions (2001–2003).
Lynch also received All-Australian honours and was named in the Fitzroy and Tasmanian Teams of the Century. He was inducted into the Tasmanian Football Hall of Fame and elevated to icon status in 2010, and most recently joined the Queensland Football Hall of Fame in 2023.
Currently a board member of the Tasmania Devils, Lynch maintains strong ties to the state’s sporting community. Speaking on his new radio role, he said: “I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining Brent and the SEN Tassie Breakfast team. I’ll always be a passionate Tasmanian, so I’m looking forward to sharing the stories, celebrating the wins and having a laugh with listeners each morning.”
James Sellar, Commercial Manager at SEN, said Lynch’s connection to the local sporting community makes him an ideal co-host: “Alastair is a household name in Tasmanian sport and a natural fit for SEN Tassie Breakfast. His experience, passion, and connection to the local community will bring a fresh energy to the show.”
SEN Tassie Breakfast airs Mondays and Fridays from 7am to 9am on SEN Tassie 1629am Hobart, SENTrack Launceston & Devonport 1611am, and the SEN app.
