Chrissie, Sam & Browny’s Big Goodbye week starts with crowd at The Corner
Nova 100 starts breakfast show week farewell with outside broadcast
Nova 100’s Chrissie, Sam & Browny breakfast show has started its final week on air ever with a live Big Goodbye show from Melbourne’s Corner Hotel.
The iconic pub and live venue became an early opener today as close to 400 people lined up around the block in Richmond from 4.30am ahead of the doors opening at 5am.
Joining Chrissie Swan, Sam Pang and Jonathan Brown across the morning was the fourth member of the team – Deano (Dean Thomas).
Chrissie, Sam & Browny’s Big Goodbye outside started with The Early Show, with Deano, Jack Charles & Ash Gardner, live from 5.30am.
The special show even attracted interstate visitors. Not wanting to miss the celebration of seven years of breakfast success were Nova Entertainment’s chief executive Peter Charlton and chief operating officer Peter Colosimo.

Chrissie, Sam & Browny will spend the rest of their time on air reflecting on some of their favourite moments since 2016 and next week will be joined by friends of the show including Celia Pacquola, Kitty Flanagan, Santo Cilauro, Matt Preston and Ross Noble.
