NRL legend sacked from radio show
NRL legend Mark 'MG' Geyer has been axed from his popular Triple M radio show that he hosts alongside Mick Molloy.
The NSW State of Origin star joined Triple M in 2009 and quickly became one of the network's most popular talents, co-hosting the Mick & MG in the Morning show for many years.
Geyer, 56, was absent from Wednesday and Thursday’s shows with Molloy making no mention of his whereabouts.
News of Geyer being axed was first reported by The Daily Telegraph with his departure following in the wake of several on-air talents being let go.
The shock sacking comes after it was announced that Mick Molloy would also depart the show next year and return to Melbourne where he’ll host Triple M Melbourne’s breakfast show next year alongside Nick Riewoldt, Titus O’Reily and Rosie Walton.
Listeners of the show took to social media to vent their frustration after learning the NRL legend had been let go.
“MG has been refreshing to listen to on MMM. He isn’t one of the sanitised radio ‘personalities’ who are full of themselves. MG is honest and speaks from the heart,” one wrote.
A second added: “MMM are a total joke, was once a great radio station now run by suits who have no idea on what the listeners want. Where’s the MMM we had back 30 years ago when MMM was the Number 1 radio station in Sydney.”
While no official announcement has been made by Southern Cross Austereo, Geyer has updated his Facebook profile which now reads: Former Locutor at Triple M Sydney 104.9.
According to The Daily Telegraph, an official announcement about the Triple M breakfast show's new lineup would be made "in due course".
