For 24 years, Talkin Sport on 2SM has been a staple in the lives of countless Australians, including mine. I have tuned in religiously, finding comfort and connection through the airwaves. It wasn't merely a radio show; it was a community where voices of sport enthusiasts were heard, opinions were shared, and friendships formed.

Talkin Sport offered a unique blend of news, analysis, and listener interaction, unlike any other broadcast. It was a forum where sports lovers from all over Australia, spanning from the suburbs of Sydney to the towns in the outback, came together. The show's absence has left a significant void in our daily lives, a gap that no other program has managed to fill.

The decision to axe Talkin Sport has overlooked its immense value to its listeners. According to recent audience statistics, Talkin Sport enjoyed a dedicated following, with audience numbers consistently high throughout its time on air. The program not only engaged listeners but also acted as a vital platform for local sports teams and communities, supporting grassroots talent and bringing important sporting issues to the forefront.

When a staple like Talkin Sport disappears, it's not just a loss of routine, but a loss of a cultural touchstone. We believe that 2SM's decision can be reversed with enough community support. We are calling on 2SM to listen to the voices of its listeners and reinstate Talkin Sport for the sake of maintaining our cherished sports community.

We propose that 2SM engage in open dialogue with its audience, evaluating this change and exploring alternative solutions, such as adjusting the program's format or timeslot, rather than eliminating it entirely. This will not only retain loyal listeners but also strengthen the station's commitment to serving its audience.

Join us in urging 2SM to bring back Talkin Sport and restore an integral piece of our Australian sports heritage. Sign this petition to show your support for a cherished program that has brought us countless memorable moments over the years.
