Toyota World Sport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toyota World Sport is an Australian television sport news program. Airing on SBS at 19:00 local time, the long-running show is to be axed in late Janurary 2007.
The show is aired at 7pm following SBS' 6.30 news (and repeated the following day at 4pm), and is hosted by Les Murray and Andrew Orsatti on weekends.

[edit] 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 include Andrew Orsatti and Mike Tomalaris.
Former presenters include Liz Deep-Jones (who hosted mainly in the late 1990s-early 2000s), Simon Hill & Mieke Buchan.
[edit] Demise
Despite its successful ratings with the FIFA World Cup and the Tour de France in 2006, the show will be 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 18:30 news.[1].
