Petition to get Mark ‘MG’ Geyer back on Triple M after sacking

Outraged by Triple M’s sacking of Mark Geyer, a southwest Sydney man is petitioning the radio station to get the rugby league legend back on the airwaves.

A petition is calling on Triple M to bring back Mark ‘MG’ Geyer, following the radio station’s sacking of the rugby league legend.

A Sydney man has started a petition to get rugby league legend Mark Geyer back on the air, having been outraged by the radio star’s sacking.

Camden man Terry Foley, 59, started an online petition last Thursday, calling for Triple M to reinstate “MG”, after The Daily Telegraph revealed the station had sacked the former NSW State of Origin star.

Geyer, who played for the Panthers when Penrith won their first premiership in 1991, joined Triple M in 2009 and was one of the radio station’s longest-serving presenters.

He hosted breakfast shows with Stuart MacGill, Gus Worland, Matty Johns, Jess Eva, Chris Page and Ray Warren, along with his most recent co-hosts Mick Molloy, Cat Lynch and Natarsha Belling.

Mr Foley told this masthead he had listened to Geyer from the beginning and was “disappointed” to hear the 56-year-old had been booted.

“I just love the show and ... it was disappointing to find out that we won’t have MG next year,” he said.

At the time of publication, the petition has attracted 27 signatures.

Geyer and Triple M operator Southern Cross Austereo both declined to comment on the petition.
