Brisbane’s 4BC has announced it will be taking on a new direction in the Breakfast timeslot as Laurel Edwards, Gary Clare and Mark Hine prepare to bid farewell.

Laurel, Gary and Mark have been part of the morning routine for millions of Brisbane listeners for over 30 years thanks to their chemistry, music and determination to make people laugh.

Head of Content for Nine Radio, Greg Byrnes, said: “Laurel, Gary and Mark have played a crucial role in our live and local content strategy. It’s been a privilege to have them engage with Brisbane through 4BC but we’ve decided to take a new approach to Breakfast.

“Their loyal listeners, and all of us at 4BC, will miss them greatly, but we’ll be sending them off in a style worthy of their remarkable careers.”

Laurel, Gary and Mark will take their planned survey break next week and return on Monday, September 23, for a final week of cheers and tears as they reflect on their most memorable moments and farewell their 4BC listeners.

Their final day on air will be Friday, September 27.

An announcement on Brisbane’s 4BC Breakfast lineup for the remainder of 2024 will be made soon.
