4BC’s Ian Maurice leaves radio for theatre

After 14 successful years at Brisbane’s News Talk 4BC, evening newsreader Ian Maurice will hang up his headphones to join the theatre.

The veteran broadcaster has been appointed General Manager of Brisbane’s Arts Theatre and will take up the position from mid-August.

4BC General Manager Anthony Frangi said: “We are of course sad to lose one of Brisbane’s favourite broadcasters, but we are delighted for Ian that he has accepted the position as General Manager of Brisbane’s longest running theatre.

“I would like to thank Ian for his dedication and service to 4BC and our audience. He leaves us with our sincere appreciation and gratitude for all that he has achieved.”

Ian Maurice joined 4BC in 2000 as weekend presenter and has hosted every shift on the station, before joining the 4BC newsroom in 2013 where he currently reads the evening bulletin.

Ian Maurice says he is “lucky to have been involved in two businesses that I love for many years, 4BC and Brisbane’s Arts Theatre. I’ve always loved the media and I hold a passion for the arts. Now I feel blessed to be able to move from one love to another.”
