Abbie Chatfield’s expansion from podcasting into commercial radio appears to be a success.
The ratings are for her 2Day FM radio show, Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield, and the former reality TV star is doing pretty well in several key markets.
According to Variety, evening views on Melbourne’s Fox FM and Brisbane’s B105 FM both increased by 0.5 per cent and 1.8 per cent respectively.

Her biggest success was at Adelaide’s SAFM, where the position grew by an impressive 2.7%.
However, that is not good news for Abbie, with the Sydney and Perth markets falling slightly.
It comes after reports that 2Day FM is gearing up for the former Bachelor villain to move to a breakfast spot and join The Kyle and Jackie O Show in the next few years.

An insider told the Herald Sun: ‘They will definitely do a play for Abbie in 2024.’
The source added: ‘They have been in discussions for the next year but have yet to come up with the perfect online partner.
‘She could certainly be the wildcard they desperately need, after a decade of dismal ratings at 2Day FM. Abbie Chatfield is the best card they can play. ‘
Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield runs from 7pm to 9pm on weekdays
Abbie entered the entertainment industry with her podcast, It’s a Lot, which she launched shortly after appearing on The Bachelor.
The podcast was eventually picked up by Listnr, a company owned by Southern Cross Austereo, which then led to her own radio show.
Abbie currently hosts Hot Nights with Abbie Chatfield on the Access Network.
Meanwhile, KIIS 106.5’s The Kyle and Jackie O Show remains Sydney’s most loved FM breakfast show, according to the first radio survey of the year.
