Reports of rugby league icon Mark Geyer being let go from his long-standing role at Triple M Sydney’s breakfast show, Mick & MG in the Morning, have sparked outrage among loyal fans. Geyer, who joined the station in 2009 and has been a major voice for NRL and western Sydney, was notably absent from the program on Wednesday and Thursday, fueling speculation about his future following widespread job cuts at the network.
Despite his absence, the show continued to run promotional material featuring Geyer, leaving listeners confused and upset. Social media erupted with fans praising Geyer’s authenticity and condemning Triple M’s decision. One supporter lamented, “MG has been refreshing to listen to… honest and speaks from the heart,” while another slammed the station, calling it “a shadow of the 2MMM we loved 30 years ago.”
Known for his down-to-earth personality and passion for rugby league, Geyer was brought back to the breakfast show in 2021, promising to inject fresh energy and NRL content into the program. His reported dismissal has drawn attention to the challenges facing traditional radio as it battles to retain relevance in a rapidly changing media landscape.
Neither Geyer nor Triple M has officially commented on the situation, but fans are demanding answers and hoping for a reversal of the decision. Will Triple M address the backlash, or has one of rugby league’s most beloved voices been permanently silenced? Stay tuned.
