Changes at 4BC

Brisbane Radio 4BC will axe its Sports Today program, hosted by Peter Psaltis and Billy J. Snith, and replace it with a new 6-8pm program hosted by Psaltis and Ian Maurice. According to a staff memo from station manager David McDonald, the new show "will have a much broader focus on sports and recreational activities" (maybe they were listening when I told afternoon host Peter Dick earlier this year that BC should have an arts and entertainment program as well as its sports show!). Walter Williams will replace Maurice in the 8pm to midnight slot next year. Sports Today will continue over the Christmas holidays with Rupert McCall and Rick Mitchell in the chair before the changes take effect in the new year. Smith will remain with the station as a fill-in announcer.
