Yeah he said the plan is to do it this week, then after that he doesn’t know. I am assuming he wasn’t given the job , or he didn’t want it.
Id like 2sm offer him a weeknight show 8 pm to 12am.

Really hope M Jeffreys can take on 5 weekdays, or if not someone else local. Can’t imagine Ben Fordham would be too happy if 2GB take the lazy / cheap way out with a permanent lead-in of overnights piped up from MEL. 2GB breakfast has had the benefit of highly successful local overnight programming over the past decade+ (McLaren then Maynard) which has helped flow into breakfast. Don’t go backwards here 2GB !!

2GB is stuffed IMO. Unfortunately, love him or hate him, 2SM’s Chris Smith is a stronger broadcaster than Mark Levy. As for Drive, Clinton is lucky he doesn’t have strong commercial AM competition.
As for 2GB Overnights, I highly doubt it, but the wiser overnight listeners would tune to Triple M’s Nightshift and then back to Ben Fordham.
Unfortunately, in 2025 2GB is not a one-stop station. Their A-team days have all but gone - apart from Breakfast & Nights.

I think having Mike Jeffreys, particularly temporarily, is probably not the best idea given he’s not been committed in the past having to pass the bat onto Clinton Maynard and only work one night a week (how’s that for consistency). I probably would’ve had Bill Woods on overnights during the week instead.

I think Mike would want a day time shift. I listen on podcast love his sense of humour. My gut feel he doesn’t want it full time, he openly says he doesn’t know, many listeners have asked via email.

Are there actually any internal candidates at 2GB who could realistically take the role? I think Bill Woods is above overnight hours.
Seems inevitable it will be networked from Melbourne, which would mean in a matter of months, Nine have gone from three overnight programs to one. Cost saving.

Not really a saving if the staff are casuals other than Clinton.

I quite like Clinton, I find him to be a good broadcaster, may not have the name yet though.

NRL legend Mark Geyer lands 2GB gig
Might be a good get. Stull needs more women though.

He’ll be good for calling NRL games - especially now they’ve lost Hadley.

FINALLY Live studio cameras are back for 3aw on the website. Haven’t checked the app yet.
Having any technical / engineering ability is not what 3AW is good at.
Huh? Live cameras have always been available on the website. They never left.
Nope they were missing for quite a while
Not sure about that.
The ‘watch’ icon on the website has always been there. I’ve regularly been watching live streams of the studio in recent weeks/months.

Mark ‘MG’ Geyer joins 2GB
One of rugby league’s most popular personalities, Mark Geyer OAM, has announced that he will be joining 2GB and Nine Radio on a three year deal from 2025.
The NSW and Australian representative, and 1991 premiership winner with Penrith, will be heard daily on 2GB’s new Drive program, Sydney Now with Clinton Maynard, and also feature weekly on The Continuous Call Team and Wide World of Sports programs.
Mark Geyer said: “I’m pumped to be joining the team at 2GB and very grateful for the opportunity. Some of the biggest names in radio have gone through those 2GB corridors, so it’s humbling to be a part of such an established team. Let’s rip in!”
2GB Content Manager, Luke Davis, said: “We’re so excited to welcome Mark Geyer to the 2GB and Nine Radio family! ‘MG’ is a league legend, an experienced media personality, a business owner, a voice of Western Sydney, and never short of an opinion. We’re looking forward to his unique insights each day on Sydney Now and across the NRL season – further-strengthening our top-rating Continuous Call Team line-up as we enter our 39th year on air.”
Geyer joins returning members of the Continuous Call Team in 2025, including Paul Gallen, Darryl ‘The Big Marn’ Brohman, Mark ‘Piggy’ Ridde
I checked it a few weeks ago and it wasn’t there… odd

That’s false advertising. Sydney’s Best Breakfast is a 5 minute ABC News bulletin and Spotify.
