Mark ‘MG’ Geyer has been sensationally fired by Triple M according to The Daily Telegraph.
The breakfast show co-host and NSW State of Origin legend was reportedly told the bad news by his ‘Melbourne boss’, who traveled to Sydney to deliver it to him in person.
Geyer was not on this morning’s show and her co-presenters Mick Molloy, Cat Lynch and Natarsha Belling did not mention her absence.
Southern Cross Austereo announced two weeks ago that Molloy would return to Melbourne to host that city’s breakfast in 2025.
However, the network has not announced plans for Geyer, 56.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Southern Cross Austereo for comment.

Geyer is a former soccer star who played in the 1980s and 1990s before retiring from the sport at the end of the 2000 season.
She joined Triple M’s Sydney breakfast show in 2022 alongside Lawrence Mooney, Jess Eva and Chris Page.
After landing his spot, Mark said: “I’m excited to be setting the alarm once again for Triple M Sydney breakfast, and I couldn’t think of a better team to join!
‘Lawrence makes me laugh every morning. Jess is her own unique brand of hilarity and Pagey and I go back a long way. Let 2022 come!’
In 2020, Geyer’s daughter made headlines when she received $125,000 for more damages for false claims made about a leaked sex tape.
Montanna Geyer sued Fouad Ghosn in the New South Wales District Court over a March 2019 post that identified her as “the bird” in an intimate video illegally filmed by the Penrith Panthers with Tyrone May.
While the offending image and text were removed within days, Ghosn used each request to apologize and retract the false claim to make “further defamatory and insulting comments in the most public manner possible,” i.e. a page followed by 300,000 Facebook accounts. .
Geyer and his son Logan also gave evidence of their distress and their attempts to identify the publication’s editor.

Earlier this month, Triple M underwent a massive restructuring at the network with Marty Sheargold taking on a new role after vacating the breakfast role in July.
Sheargold, 53, will extend his national Marty Sheargold show to hosting gigs in Sydney, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
The show currently airs nationally Monday through Friday from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Listeners in these regions will now enjoy two additional hours of the comedian’s popular show from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
“I look forward to returning to Drive for listeners in New South Wales and Queensland in 2025 and bringing them the expanded version of the show,” Sheargold said in a statement.
“The journey home is a time to relax and end the day with a chat and a laugh, and that is exactly what I will aim to achieve.”
Sheargold’s shift towards momentum means a number of local shows will be scrapped in 2025.
The Rush Hour, with Leisel Jones, Liam Flanagan and Ben Dobbin, which airs in Queensland, will not return next year.
Geyer was not on this morning’s show and his co-presenters Mick Molloy (pictured), Cat Lynch and Natarsha Belling did not mention his absence.
Similarly, New South Wales’ Rush Hour with Gus Worland and Jude Bolton will also be suspended.
The Adelaide and Perth Rush Hour teams will also not return in 2025.
The Rush Hour team of James Brayshaw and Billy Brownless, currently heard in Melbourne and Tasmania, will now also be broadcast in South and Western Australia, as well as on some regional Triple M stations in the southern states.
Liesel Jones took to Instagram to share the news with her fans, posting a photo of the trio on air.
“Well, it was fun while it lasted,” he wrote.
‘Sad news today that @triplem_rushhour with Leisel Jones, Liam and Dobbo will not go ahead in 2025.
“I learned a lot at this job and enjoyed the laughs,” the post continued.
‘Our intention with this program was to always encourage you to come home no matter what type of day you had.
Earlier this month, Triple M underwent a massive shake-up at the network with Marty Sheargold (pictured) taking on a new role after vacating the breakfast role in July.
‘I hope we were able to make your arvo smile or laugh. We’ll see you spinning around like a croquette. Until next time.’
Sheargold added that he was committed to continuing the legacy of the local teams.
“I also wanted to thank the Sydney, Brisbane/Gold Coast and Queensland teams,” he said.
‘(They are) shows that have had incredible runs and have been enormously entertaining. “I am committed to continuing his legacy.”
Brayshaw and Brownless’ Rush Hour team, currently heard in Melbourne and Tasmania, will now also be broadcast in South and Western Australia and on some regional Triple M stations in the southern states.
