Brisbane\u2019s 4BC<\/em> has today announced its new breakfast duo, bringing together two of Queensland\u2019s most familiar and beloved voices: Dean Miller and Sofie Formica.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Starting January 19, Brisbane mornings will get a fresh dose of energy, warmth, and local flavour as 4BC Breakfast with Dean & Sofie <\/em><\/strong>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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean Miller is one of Queensland\u2019s most familiar voices and faces, bringing decades of experience in radio, television, and digital storytelling to the 4BC<\/em> Breakfast team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s also been a household name on Australian television, hosting lifestyle favourites such as Creek to Coast<\/em>, Queensland Weekender<\/em>, and The Great South East<\/em> for more than 15 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cTo be back on air in the city I love, with a station that\u2019s part of Brisbane\u2019s DNA, is a real privilege \u2013 and to do it with my mate of over 20 years? That\u2019s a gift\u201d, said Miller. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrisbane\u2019s always been home \u2013 it\u2019s where I\u2019ve 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.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Formica says the move to Breakfast is exciting, adding: \u201cAfter four years of hosting Afternoons on 4BC solo, I\u2019m 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\u2019s Brisbane.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Breakfast with Dean & Sofie<\/em> 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\u2019t afraid to call it how they see it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

On the new Breakfast lineup, 4BC Station Manager, Siobhain McDonnell<\/strong> said: \u201cDean 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\u2019s time for Brisbane to be invited in.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The duo\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSofie\u2019s up at 5am doing yoga and green smoothies. I\u2019m just trying to find my other sock. Somehow, it works. She\u2019s the fit one, I\u2019m the fun one. Together, we\u2019re your perfectly balanced breakfast\u201d, said Miller. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not just broadcasting \u2013 we\u2019re connecting. Whether you\u2019re on the school run, heading to work, or just waking up, we want to be the friendly voice that starts your day right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tune in to 4BC<\/em>\u2019s Breakfast with Dean & Sofie<\/em>, weekdays from January 19, and start your day the Brisbane way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
