Square Kilometre Array will see sky bubbling with exploding stars: The catch is that a gamma-ray burst is not an explosion that we can see from all directions but is comprised of a very narrow, energetic jet, so we need to be looking down the barrel of the jet at the right time...
The radio afterglow should be visible from any direction though and for long periods of time, even if we missed the burst.
