SEN boss Craig Hutchison confirms sacking of RSN radio hosts Daniel Harford and Michael Felgate on-air

Just days after taking control of RSN, Craig Hutchison has shocked listeners, revealing two high-profile hosts have been dumped. The Herald-Sun reports: SEN boss Craig Hutchison has said it’s “nothing personal” about the sacking of high-profile RSN radio hosts Daniel Harford and Michael Felgate.

Many RSN listeners found out the changes live on air on Thursday morning when Hutchison appeared on Felgate’s Racing Pulse show where he revealed his plans for the racing station.

Harford will finish up his nine-year stint on the breakfast show on August 29. Hutchison confirmed SEN’s existing breakfast shows – ‘Fireball’ with Kane Cornes and David King on Mondays and Fridays, and SEN Breakfast with Garry Lyon and Tim Watson from Tuesdays to Thursdays – will now be heard also on RSN. And former RSN host Gareth Hall returns with his daily SEN show ‘Giddy Up’ to be heard across the RSN airwaves at the earlier time of 8am.
