We present new observations of the quasar 4C 37.43 in the course of a more general study of broad-line profiles in radio-loud AGN. During the most recent observations it became obvious that the broad profile Hβ had changed significantly. Difference spectra show that a new blue component has appeared on the Hβ profile. The centroid of this new component is displaced about 2500 km s−1 from the rest frame [O III] λ5007. A corresponding blueshifted He IIλ4686 component may have also appeared.
