Brisbane’s 4BC has today announced its new breakfast duo, bringing together two of Queensland’s most familiar and beloved voices: Dean Miller and Sofie Formica.
Starting January 19, Brisbane mornings will get a fresh dose of energy, warmth, and local flavour as 4BC Breakfast with Dean & Sofie takes to the airwaves. Every weekday morning from 5:30 am to 9:00 am, the show will bring talkback listeners the perfect blend of humour, heart, headlines, and hometown truths.
Dean Miller is one of Queensland’s most familiar voices and faces, bringing decades of experience in radio, television, and digital storytelling to the 4BC Breakfast team.
A proud Brisbane local, Dean first made his mark as the long-time Breakfast Anchor at Triple M Brisbane, where he built a loyal following across the city. He’s also been a household name on Australian television, hosting lifestyle favourites such as Creek to Coast, Queensland Weekender, and The Great South East for more than 15 years.
“To be back on air in the city I love, with a station that’s part of Brisbane’s DNA, is a real privilege – and to do it with my mate of over 20 years? That’s a gift”, said Miller.
“Brisbane’s always been home – it’s where I’ve raised my kids, built a life, and now I get to wake up with the city every morning. Sofie and I are both fiercely proud of this place. We want to bring a bit of joy, a bit of cheek, and a whole lot of Brisbane to your mornings.”
Formica says the move to Breakfast is exciting, adding: “After four years of hosting Afternoons on 4BC solo, I’m ready to take on a new challenge and thrilled to be sharing the studio with a friend. We know Brisbane breakfast radio is tough, but we are determined to deliver a show that is real and it’s Brisbane.”
Breakfast with Dean & Sofie will bring listeners the breaking news as it happens, unpack the stories that matter most to Brisbane, and balance it all with the warmth and wit of two locals who love their city and aren’t afraid to call it how they see it.
On the new Breakfast lineup, 4BC Station Manager, Siobhain McDonnell said: “Dean and Sofie are the perfect duo to wake up to in Brisbane. This city is thriving, and our listeners are fiercely proud of their lifestyle. We want 4BC listeners to start their day with the latest news, the best conversation, and a smile on their face. Their 20-year friendship is infectious, and it’s time for Brisbane to be invited in.”
The duo’s chemistry stems from their contrasting styles and long-standing personal relationship. While Sofie brings the energy, fitness, and competitive edge, Dean brings the laughs, laid-back charm, and a knack for finding joy in the everyday.
“Sofie’s up at 5am doing yoga and green smoothies. I’m just trying to find my other sock. Somehow, it works. She’s the fit one, I’m the fun one. Together, we’re your perfectly balanced breakfast”, said Miller.
“We’re not just broadcasting – we’re connecting. Whether you’re on the school run, heading to work, or just waking up, we want to be the friendly voice that starts your day right.”
Tune in to 4BC’s Breakfast with Dean & Sofie, weekdays from January 19, and start your day the Brisbane way.
