Sports Sunday was an Australian sports television program that was broadcast on the Nine Network at 10.00am Sunday mornings. The show was hosted by journalist Roz Kelly, with a roster of rotating panelists including former Australian cricket captain Mark Taylor, radio host Gus Worland and journalist Sean Maloney. [1]
The weekly show featured discussions and debates on the previous week's sporting news and events, along with guest interviews and other sporting highlights from both Australia and internationally.
On 3 March 2024, the show was rebranded as a revival of Wide World of Sports. [2]
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]
