The Hit Network has announced that the host of LiSTNR’s It’s A Lot podcast, reality TV personality and “the ever unapologetic” Abbie Chatfield, will host her own show, Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield, across 50 Hit stations.
The new show will air nationally from 7-9pm weeknights and will premiere Monday, January 17.
Hit Network is promising Abbie will delve into what’s currently firing across entertainment, her own unpredictable life, and her special guests that are brave enough to sit in her hot seat.
The pitch to listeners:
There is no topic too taboo for Abbie as she brings her raw and honest personality to any subject. From body image to politics, entertainment and sex, Abbie will not disappoint with her quick wit and outspoken opinions.
Sounds like a potentially successful breakfast show recipe too. The Sydney commercial market is looking for something different that could cut through, and Abbie Chatfield could be it. First she must rack up some airtime hosting the live evening show. Many successful broadcasters have had success in evenings – look no further than Kyle and Jackie O for starters.
Prior to her successful It’s A Lot podcast, Chatfield first became known from her time on Network 10’s 2019 season of The Bachelor, season three of Bachelor In Paradise in 2020, and she was crowned 2021’s winner of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! by popular vote. Her Hit Network show is Chatfield’s radio debut.
“I am beyond excited to start Hot Nights. I’m thrilled to be given this opportunity and can’t wait to make this show as amazing as possible for the Hit Network,” Chatfield said.
“There is such a fantastic team behind this new show, and we’re counting down the days to when we can bring it to life and have some chaotic fun with our listeners!”
SCA chief content officer Dave Cameron said: “Abbie is truly an exciting and refreshing new talent with a huge, growing national audience, who are already glued to her compelling and brutally honest It’s A Lot podcast on LiSTNR.
“We are so excited to watch Abbie let loose on radio every night on the Hit Network across the country with Hot Nights. This will be great fun!”
Chatfield will be joined every night by co-host and anchor Rohan Edwards who has been with the Hit Network for over six years and joins the show from his most recent role as afternoons announcer on Brisbane’s B105.
Max Corstorphan, producer of the It’s A Lot podcast on LiSTNR, will now also be executive producer of Hot Nights. Corstorphan most recently also worked on 2Day FM’s Hughesy, Ed and Erin’s breakfast show and before that was the national publicist for Nine’s The Block.
