Presenters
Stephanie Brantz was originally a weekend presenter of the show, but joined Les Murray as a co-host during 2006, before she defected to the Nine Network in August of that year. Other hosts during this period included Mike Tomalaris and Simon Hill.
Robert Grasso, Kyle Patterson, Andrew Orsatti, Janice Petersen, Mieke Buchanan, John Baldock, Farren Hotham and Emma Simkin were among the show's award-winning team of journalists. Craig Norenbergs, Mike Tomalaris and Bridget Tilley also worked as producers during its long run.
Cancellation
Despite its successful ratings with the FIFA World Cup and the Tour de France in 2006, the show was axed in favour of an extended one-hour news program that incorporates sport news, because SBS management was worried about the drop in viewers after the 6.30pm news.[1]
