History
The show aired its debut episode on 5 March 2017, and was a replacement for the long running Wide World of Sports program after host Ken Sutcliffe's retirement in 2016.[3] The debut season was hosted by television presenter Emma Freedman.
It was announced on 8 February 2018 that host Emma Freedman had left the Nine Network to take up a position at the NRL-based channel Fox League.[4] James Bracey replaced Freedman as host from 2018.[5]
Journalist Roz Kelly took over the hosting role from Bracey in May 2022, following his appointment to sports presenter of Sydney's nightly Nine News bulletin.[6]
Nick McArdle, James Bracey and Emma Lawrence were the primary fill in hosts whenever Roz Kelly is unavailable.
The show was rebranded as Wide World of Sports on 3 March 2024.[2]
