Brisbane’s 4BC has today announced Carla Bignasca as the host of 4BC Afternoons in 2026.

A familiar voice to the 4BC audience, Bignasca will officially take the 4BC Afternoons chair from January 19, 2026, completing 4BC’s new live and local lineup.

Bignasca first joined 4BC as an Executive Producer in 2024 and has been a regular and trusted fill-in on 4BC Afternoons. She is a highly respected industry all-rounder, bringing a wealth of knowledge and decades of experience across all areas of broadcasting.

With her warmth, energy and insight, Bignasca will continue with the in-depth, community driven conversation that matters to Brisbane.

“It’s an honour to be stepping into Afternoons on 4BC, and I don’t take it lightly for a second”, said Bignasca.

“This show will embrace what matters to the people of Brisbane and South East Queensland community and the real experiences that shape our everyday lives. I’ve devoted my entire life to working in radio. I love the craft of authentic storytelling, and I enjoy nothing more than listening to people and giving them space to be heard.

“Whether it’s shining a light on local issues and honest chats about the pressures we’re all facing, celebrating small businesses or my other great loves of food and culture – I can’t wait to roll up my sleeves and get connected.

“Our city is full of heart and promise, unlike any other capital in Australia, and it’s a privilege to play a part in reflecting that back to our community.

“I can’t wait to have some fun with our listeners and bring some joy to their afternoons.”

4BC Station Manager Siobhain McDonnell said: “From breakfast radio to national radio shows and TV, Carla has done it all. I am thrilled to be introducing her to our audience and to the Brisbane airwaves full time. Carla has already connected with the 4BC Afternoons audience this year both on and off air, and I am delighted that she will now be bringing her warmth, sense of humour and zest for life to our station daily. Carla calls them like she sees them, isn’t one to shy away from the big issues and is guaranteed to bring some joy to Brisbane’s day.

“With Carla’s appointment our 4BC 2026 lineup is complete. Dean Miller and Sofie Formica on Breakfast, Jason Matthews on Mornings, Carla Bignasca on Afternoons and Gary Hardgrave remaining as our Drive announcer – all fiercely passionate about celebrating Brisbane.

“4BC is dedicated to celebrating our wonderful city, whilst campaigning to make it even better every day. We want our listeners and the wider Brisbane audience to be informed, entertained and feeling good about the city we live in and the communities we are a part of.”

Tune in to 4BC Afternoons with Carla Bignasca from 12pm-3pm, weekdays from January 19, 2026.

ABOUT THE AUSTRALIAN PODCAST RANKER

The Australian Podcast Ranker lists the Top 300 podcasts from participating publishers that are consumed by listeners located in Australia. The All-Australian Top 300 Podcast Ranker lists only the Top 300 podcasts commissioned by an Australian publisher, consumed by listeners located in Australia.

The Australian Podcast Ranker is based on a calendar month reporting period. The entities listed are ranked by Monthly Listeners in accordance with the latest IAB Podcast Technical Measurement Guidelines. If you wish to sort by downloads, you can click on the “Downloads” column to re-sort amongst the existing data.

For podcasts with multiple categories in the RSS feed, we display and filter by only the first category.

The Ranker is commissioned by Commercial Radio & Audio and includes the participation of the following publishers and sales representation: Acast, Adore Beauty, ARN/iHeartPodcast Network Australia, Audioboom, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, BBC, DM Podcasts, Guardian Media Group, Hidden Brain Media, HODD Media, Johns Media, Kinderling Kids Radio, LiSTNR (SCA), Motorsport Podcast Network, New York Times, News Corp Australia, Nine, Nova Entertainment, Podshape, Ranieri & Co, RSN Racing & Sport, Schwartz Media, Sports Entertainment Network (SEN), Squiz Media, The Australia Institute, The Bye Round, The Chaser, TOFOP Productions, Wavelength Creative, We don’t have time for this, West Australian Newspapers, Wondery.

• Downloads – A ‘download’ is a unique file request that was downloaded. Downloads include complete file downloads, progressive downloads, as well as partial downloads in accordance with the IAB Podcast Measurement Technical Guidelines v2.2 filtering rules (i.e. spiders and bots, data centers, one-minute of content minimum download, etc.). This process filters multiple requests from the same IP address, user agent, episode and date.
• Publisher – An entity that represents a group of podcasts that it either commissions, produces itself or acts as the primary representative for that content in Australia.
• Rank
  •  “Debut” indicates that the show is new to the ranker, making its debut for the first time in the last 13 months.

• Index (Monthly Podcast pop 18+) – Compares % of a podcast’s audience against the overall Australian monthly podcast listener population (age 18+). Eg: Index 125 “Genre X is 25% more likely than average monthly podcast listener to do purchase a new car.”

The Australian Film Television and Radio School (AFTRS) will take its groundbreaking On Country Pathways Program (OCCP) to Jigamy, near Eden, on the far south coast of NSW, later this month. 

The OCPP aims to create career pathways into film, television, radio and podcasting through bespoke training for emerging First Nations creatives living in remote, rural and regional areas across Australia. This year the program has provided AFTRS’ world-class screen and audio training to First Nations storytellers in parts of Queensland and Western Australia.  

It will now head to Jigamy, in Thaua Country, on the south east coast, where it will offer two workshops following the Giiyong Festival – in podcasting and mobile content creation – in partnership with local not-for-profit First Nations media organisation Studio Jaanda over three days (24-26 November). The festival runs on the weekend of 22-23 November. 

Create, Record, Publish: Podcasting Made Simple is a practical workshop that will explore the principles of what makes good audio content and the unique opportunities podcasts offer for connecting with audiences and communities.  Participants will learn practical skills so that, by the end of the workshop, they will have at least one show, podcast episode or podcast trailer ready to publish.  

Workshop facilitators are Natalie Pozdeev, AFTRS’ Program Convenor for the Graduate Diploma in Radio and Podcasting, and Dre Ngatakorua, a broadcaster of Wangkangurru, Adnyamathnha, Kuyani, Luridja, Deiri, Yankunytjatara, Cook Island and Maori decent. Dre is host of the Straight Out Show on Umeewarra Radio.  

In the Mobile Content Creation workshop, participants will learn how to write, shoot, edit and share short reels/video content for social media and online platforms using mobile phones. Participants will learn how to plan and capture engaging short form content, tell stories in 60 seconds and learn skills for recording, editing, uploading and sharing content.  

Facilitators for the mobile content workshop are Patrick McKenzie and Brooke Collard, with mentors Jodie Dowd (AFTRS First Nations Community Engagement Manager), Kerrod Meredith-Creed (AFTRS Community Training Officer), Sara Khan, screenwriter and proud Wailwan, Gomeroi, Pakistani woman with a strong background in storytelling, and photographer and filmmaker Anthony Rigby-Smith.

AFTRS First Nations Director Peter Noble said the program had been warmly welcomed by First Nations Communities and industry practitioners since it was piloted in collaboration with PAKAM in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia in September 2024. A total of almost 80 people has now participated in the series of workshops, including at Cairns in collaboration with Arts Queensland in April, and at FRAIM Fesitval in Bidyadanga, WA, with PAKAM and ICTV in July. 

“The On Country Pathways Program is about creating real opportunities for First Nations storytellers in regional and rural areas to build their skills and share their voices and stories,” Pete said.  

“Our workshops are co-designed with First Nations Communities, so they truly speak to local culture and aspirations. Bringing the program to Jigamy means connecting with Community in that region and building practical skills, along with the confidence, to open doors and minds to creative careers that can be life changing.” 

Studio Jaanda offers professional media services, digital storytelling, and branding solutions tailored to align with the values of Culture, Country, and Community. Under the governance of Eden Local Aboriginal Land Council and supported by Cultural practitioners, filmmakers, graphic designers, music producers, traditional artists and industry mentors, Studio Jaanda is building a future where First Nations stories are told authentically and meaningfully. 

AFTRS On Country Pathways Program has been made possible thanks to the support of the Commonwealth Government as part of the National Cultural Policy. AFTRS will kick off its program in Jigamy with an information stall at the Giiyong Festival on Saturday 22 November 2025.  

CRA Audio ID goes live – simplifying access, enhancing targeting and delivering better outcomes for advertisers across major audio networks

https://youtube.com/watch?v=oNTHN7sTexk%3Ffeature%3Doembed

Commercial Radio & Audio (CRA) has launched CRA Audio ID, a unified digital audio identifier now live and trading via Display & Video 360, Google’s demand-side platform (DSP).

CRA Audio ID gives marketers streamlined access to 14.7M monthly listeners*, delivering more scale than both BVOD and ad-supported Spotify**.

CRA Audio ID unifies premium inventory across ARN, Nine Audio, Nova Entertainment and Southern Cross Austereo; enabling marketers to plan, buy and optimise digital audio campaigns across live streaming radio and podcasting from Australia’s most loved audio brands in one simplified workflow.

CRA Audio ID will set a new standard in audio addressability at scale, allowing advertisers to manage frequency, target with precision, and access high value audiences across networks. 

All within a privacy-safe and brand-safe environment. “When we first announced CRA Audio ID at HEARD earlier this year our goal was clear, to make buying digital audio easier, smarter and more effective. Today, thanks to the support of Google, GfK and our network partners, that’s a reality. Together, we’ve moved quickly to deliver a future-fit solution that transparently provides scale, precision and accountability alongside unparalleled access to premium, locally produced content,” said Lizzie Young, CRA CEO.

CRA Audio ID offers advertisers streamlined access to unmatched local scale, consolidating Australian audio audiences into one seamless solution and unlocking a powerful opportunity to drive effectiveness.

“CRA Audio ID is now live and available to trade through Display & Video 360, meaning marketers can activate campaigns across Australia’s biggest and most loved audio environments in a frictionless, privacy-safe way,” continued Young.

Trading through Google’s Display & Video 360 means marketers and agencies can now plan, buy and optimise digital audio alongside other media channels, with the added advantage of local scale, premium content, and forthcoming targeting and measurement capabilities.

Google’s AUNZ Head of Programmatic Media, Christopher Eden, said: “Audio is ingrained in all of our daily lives and is a critical and rapidly transforming part of the Australian advertising mix.

We also collaborate with the broader digital audio ecosystem to grow the total market and provide services to the public and part public audio broadcasting services.

“We’re proud to launch the Audio ID integration in collaboration with local industry partners at CRA. Unified alongside other major channels, the integration in Display & Video 360 will enable our customers to take full advantage of the programmatic audio opportunity with enhanced signals, addressability and a seamless workflow.”

Adding to this Young concluded, “With broadcast audiences remaining strong and digital listening accelerating, our focus remains on building an audio ecosystem that’s easier to access and puts marketers and agencies in control. It’s a practical and powerful example of how we’re embracing digital transformation to make audio work harder.”

Sydney’s 2GB will present live, comprehensive coverage of the State Funeral for legendary Australian broadcaster John Laws this Wednesday, November 19, ensuring listeners across the country can pay their respects and reflect on his extraordinary career.

The special broadcast coverage will be hosted by 2GB presenters Michael McLaren and John Stanley, commencing at 1:00pm AEDT. The special broadcast has been offered to the same network stations that syndicated The John Laws Morning Show for decades. 

The coverage will take the official audio of the full State Funeral service live from St Andrew’s Cathedral in Sydney, beginning at 1:30pm AEDT. The station will also have a team of reporters on the ground, covering the service and providing commentary on this important national event.

Beyond the service, the coverage will feature highlights of John Laws’ seven decades in radio, celebrating his unique style, cultural impact, and the defining moments of his career. 

Nine Radio Managing Director, Tom Malone, said: “John Laws was a giant of Australian radio and we’re proud to be honouring John, and providing his millions of listeners right across the country with the opportunity to be part of the farewell.”

So far 25 stations across Australia have booked the program for their listeners.

Listeners can tune in to 2GB from 1:00pm AEDT this Wednesday, November 19, for the special coverage.

ABC Far North journalist Adam Stephen has been named the winner of the 2025 Bean Lockyer Ticehurst Award for Excellence in Regional Journalism.  

The award was established by the Local Government Association of Queensland (LGAQ) to honour ABC cameraman John Bean, journalist Paul Lockyer and chopper pilot Gary Ticehurst, who died in a helicopter crash while on assignment in 2011. 

Stephen took home first prize for his sustained coverage of Queensland’s 2024-25 summer of natural disasters which not only kept people safe as events unfolded but continued to inform and reassure during the rebuilding process, said LGAQ Chief Executive Officer Alison Smith. 

“From clearly communicating the information communities needed during the emergency when for some radio was their only lifeline, to interviewing mayors of impacted communities as the trusted and reliable voices of what was happening on the ground to dramatic rescue stories told by the people who were plucked from roofs lapping with floodwater, Adam’s work covered the full gamut of the weather emergency,” Ms Smith said. 

“But just as importantly, when the media pack moved on as the waters subsided, Adam has continued to turn the focus back on those communities so none are left behind.” 

Judging criteria for the Bean Lockyer Ticehurst Award includes newsworthiness, incisiveness, public benefit and impact on the understanding of the issues and challenges facing regional Queensland, reflecting doggedness and professionalism for which John, Paul and Gary were renowned.
