Tune in, stay informed and be entertained with everything that’s making Brisbane talk on the all-local 4BC Drive program with new host Scott Emerson, from this Monday at 3.00pm.

In a jam-packed week-one lineup, regular contributors joining the show will include the latest in Money News with Brooke Corte; everything from the corridors of power with Peta Credlin; and insights from experienced media commentator, Peter Gleeson.

4BC Drive will be a sounding board for Brisbane locals, focusing on the issues that people care about.

“I’m a local, born and bred in Queensland, and I’m here to make 4BC Drive local again,” Emerson said.

Greg Byrnes, Nine Radio’s Head of Content, said: “Scott has lived and worked in Brisbane his whole life, with outstanding credentials for news talk to drive people home.

“4BC Drive rounds out our solid slate of local and informative programming in Brisbane.”

Emerson is a highly experienced broadcaster and journalist who served as The Australian newspaper’s Queensland bureau chief and held senior journalism positions with the ABC. He was also elected to the Queensland parliament and is a former Minister for Transport and Main Roads.

Emerson began his career as a cadet journalist with ABC News. He went on to help launch Triple J radio in Queensland before taking on senior reporting and presenting roles with the AM, PM and World Today programs.

He has been married to Robyn since 1991 after they met as students at the University of Queensland. They have two adult children.

Earlier this year, 4BC announced plans to expand local content in Brisbane, appointing respected editor/journalist Neil Breen as the new 4BC Breakfast host. Popular 2GB/4BC Mornings host Ray Hadley is continuing to present his top-rating networked program.

4BC Drive with Scott Emerson goes to air in Brisbane from 3.00pm to 6.00pm, Monday to Friday, from Monday, August 10.
