It’s offical: Chrissie Swan will be joining Melbourne’s Nova 100 breakfast show in 2016.
Nova Entertainment also flagged more changes to be announced shortly but remained tight lipped as to what those changes might be.
Chrissie is no stranger at NOVA Entertainment. All this year she’s been a regular on Nova 96.9’s Fitzy & Wippa show and previously co-hosted breakfast on the ill-fated vega 91.5 – now the wildly successful smoothfm.
Of course, Chrissie Swan was also co-host with Jane Hall, pioneering an all female breakfast show at ARN’s MIX 101.1 for almost three years ending December 2014.
A popular presenter on TV, Chrissie is a regular on The Project and after endearing audiences on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here, she was perfectly cast as the co-host of Network Ten’s successful series The Great Australian Spelling Bee.
She said, “I have loved Nova since it first burst into Melbourne and it’s a dream come true. I’ve truly missed chatting to my beloved Melburnians on a daily basis and I can’t wait to get cracking in 2016. I’m back! And I could not be more excited.”
Louise Higgins, NOVA Entertainment COO said, “We are delighted that Chrissie Swan will be joining Nova 100 next year. Chrissie’s relatable style and quick wit makes her the perfect choice for breakfast and will put us in a strong position for success in 2016.”
As we reported earlier, Meshel Laurie, a talented broadcaster, will be departing Nova 100 at the end of the year. She’s been part of the network for over 11 years,
Ms Higgins said, “I would like to sincerely thank Meshel for her contribution to NOVA Entertainment. She’s a great broadcaster and we wish Meshel success for the next stage of her career.”
Meshel & Tommy will continue to entertain Melbourne listeners for the rest of 2015.
