Sports Entertainment Network (SEN) has thanked broadcaster Anthony Hudson for his contribution following the news that he will depart the station for new opportunities.
Hudson has played a critical role in the growth of SEN for almost two decades.
He displayed dedication in the beginning of SEN’s journey, working in several on air roles and having a significant impact behind the scenes to ensure the station’s initial success.
Whether it be calling the cricket, AFL, or a variety of other sports, Hudson has been a huge contributor to SEN, proven by the multiple Australian Football Media Association awards he has won for his outstanding broadcasting.
SEN chief executive officer Craig Hutchison said that while disappointed Hudson would no longer remain with SEN, he wished him well for his next move.
“There are few that have played a bigger role and contributed as much to SEN as Anthony has, particularly in the early days where his behind the scenes work was critical to SEN’s survival.
“Huddo is much loved by our audience and our team, and is undoubtedly one of the great broadcasters of Australian sport, now and over history.
“While we are undoubtedly disappointed to lose Anthony and would have loved for him to remain as part of the SEN family, we are respectful of the challenges around his availability due to TV commitments. We wish him, his wife Eloise and family well with his next move that suits this availability. He’ll be missed.”
Hudson’s replacement on Friday night football on AFL Nation alongside chief sports caller Gerard Whateley will be announced in due course.
Last month, SEN announced that it will continue to deliver trade and free agency content, extending its exclusive supply of the Continental Tyres AFL Trade Radio in partnership with the AFL.
The extension, which runs until the end of 2024, follows the launch of the 2022 edition of AFL Trade Radio.
SEN also recently announced an extension of its AFL radio rights.
