4BC Brisbane has announced the sudden exit of breakfast host Peter Fegan just hours after he told listeners on Friday he’d be “back Monday”.

The Courier Mail reports: The abrupt move was confirmed in an internal email from Content Manager Siobhain McDonnell, who told staff Fegan had “finished up on air as the host of 4BC Breakfast.”

“I thank Peter for his dedication to the station, his show and for bringing a cracking NRL season to life on air with his passion and enthusiasm for his beloved Broncos,” McDonnell wrote.

“A new Breakfast program will be announced in due course … familiar voices and friends of 4BC will continue to keep our Brisbane audience entertained and informed every morning.”

Wrapping up Friday’s broadcast, Fegan told listeners: “I’m back 5.30 Monday morning, have a fantastic weekend, look after yourselves and as I like to say, be good Brizzie, catch ya then.”

The decision follows a difficult ratings year for Fegan, whose audience share dropped to 3.6 per cent in the latest GfK Radio 360 results, his weakest result of 2025 and the second-lowest Breakfast figure in 4BC’s history.
