Carla and Jason Join 4BC 2026 Line up

Carla Bignasca will host 4BC Brisbane afternoons in 2026 and Jason Matthews is now hosting the 4BC Brisbane morning show.

Carla replaces Sofie Formica who moves to present Breakfast with Dean Miller. Carla completes 4BC’s weekday live and local lineup. She first joined 4BC as an Executive Producer in 2024 and has been a regular fill-in for Sofie on the afternoon program.

Jason Matthews takes over from former host Bill McDonald, who, in October, quit the show after five years to pursue opportunities linked with the upcoming Olympic Games. Matthews is not a stranger to the radio station, having done recent stints with 4BC. In October last year, he filled in on Wide World of Sports and 4BC Drive.
