Chrissie Swan won’t be leaving breakfast radio anytime soon after recent Nova announcement

After 20 years on breakfast radio and with her TV career taking on new heights this year, Chrissie Swan is set to take on a new challenge in 2023 that will see her host her own national radio show, weekdays from 2pm to 4pm.

First appearing on Australia’s very first season of Big Brother in 2003, and the third series of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!, Chrissie has continued onwards and upwards, enamouring Australians everywhere with her wit, charm, and candor.

Chrissie has also previously won herself a silver Logie for her time on The Circle, also hosting Would I Lie To You, The Project, and even judging on the 2022 season of The Masked Singer – is there anything she can’t do?

And now, The Chrissie Swan Show will begin airing in January, the news coming as no surprise as Chrissy continues to cement her status as one of Australia’s most beloved media personalities and broadcasters.

NOVA Entertainment CEO Peter Charlton called Chrissie a “highly respected broadcaster”.

“Her engaging and down-to-earth style has seen her connect with listeners over her impressive radio career, the last seven years of which were part of Nova 100’s award-winning breakfast show,” Peter said.

“The 2pm to 4pm time slot is important to both listeners and advertisers, with a highly engaged audience often on the school run. Chrissie has really broad appeal and we can’t wait to share her charismatic broadcasting style with a national audience in this marquee day party.”

Chrissie said the new position was a “dream come true” and that whilst it was “bittersweet” to move on from her current position as part of Nova’s Melbourne breakfast show she was looking forward to a new challenge and new way to connect with listeners.

“I’ve achieved so much professionally and personally over the past seven years, and I’m thrilled to take on this new opportunity to embrace a new audience right across the country in this brand-new time slot.”

Congratulations Chrissy, we can’t wait to tune in!
