Veteran presenter to replace three of Nine's biggest breakfast radio stars who were axed in latest ratings bloodbath


Veteran presenter Peter Fegan is set to replace Brisbane 4BC's breakfast team from September 30.

But the decision to steer the station away from traditional talkback in favour of 'light entertainment' - in stark contrast to its successful sister outlets 2GB in Sydney, 3AW in Melbourne and Perth's 6PR - has alienated listeners and ultimately proved a disaster. It also comes after drive host Peter Gleeson and breakfast newsreader Steve Barker also resigned early this week in the wake of Daily Mail Australia's story about looming job cuts. There are even fears the station's ratings free fall could see local programming scrapped entirely, after parent company Nine Entertainment announced plans to cut $50million from underlying costs this financial year.
