(May 2010 )
4BC was one of the first radio stations in Brisbane. It was established in 1930 by John Beals Chandler ,[4 ] an electrical appliance retailer and later Lord Mayor of Brisbane . In March 1937 the station was sold for £A 50,000 (equivalent to $4.7 million in 2022) to the Australian Broadcasting Company who took control in April.[5 ] [6 ] [7 ]
The original studio was located in the Wintergarden Building in Queen St and in 1954 the station moved to the corner of Wharf and Adelaide St into what was originally a vinegar factory. The original transmitter site was located at Fig Tree Pocket and was a two tower 5 kW directional array. In 1988 the studio was relocated to 30 Macrossan St and that installation included a Ku band satellite uplink for the first time. In 2004 the station moved from its CBD location at 30 Macrossan Street to new purpose-built premises at Cannon Hill in 2004.[8 ] Fairfax acquired ownership in 2007.
Programming
edit
In December 2013, 4BC management unveiled an almost complete replacement of on-air talent for 2014. Most continued into early 2015.[9 ] However, in April 2015, management announced a number of programs would be immediately axed, and a number of announcing staff made redundant, following the merger of Fairfax Radio Network and Macquarie Radio Network . These included long-time presenter and newsreader Walter Williams, Loretta Ryan, Ian Skippen, and former Seven News reporter Patrick Condren.[10 ]
Prior to April 2015, 4BC produced all of its own programming, including a Queensland-wide morning program, from Brisbane which were presented by local announcers. In April 2015, most of those programs were axed with the exception of one local afternoon drive show.[11 ] [12 ]
