Return
After a ten year hiatus, it was announced that the 'Wide World of Sports' program would return to Nine on 16 March 2008. This show is hosted by the previous host Ken Sutcliffe, with footy show star James Brayshaw as well as former Australian cricketer Adam Gilchrist.
In 2009, revolving co-hosts will include former swimmers Giaan Rooney, Nicole Livingstone and former cricketer Michael Slater. The show originally aired for 90 minutes but was recently extended to two hours. It airs on Sunday mornings at 9am till 11am.
Wide World of Sports returned for another year in 2009. Michael Slater and Grant Hackett joined the team as co-hosts alongside Ken Sutcliffe and Giaan Rooney. Nicole Livinstone did not return to the program in 2009, as she joined Network Ten as a commentator.
The show was nominated for the Most Popular Sports Program award at the 2009 and 2010 Logie Awards, being beaten by The NRL Footy Show on both occasions.
The show is currently airing in 2012.

Famous quotes containing the word return:
“I borrowed today out of the Advocate’s Library, David Hume’s Treatise of Human Nature, but found it so abstruse, so contrary to sound sense and reason, and so drearying its effects on the mind, if it had any, that I resolved to return it without reading it.
”

Climb and return like angels.
Unclosing like a hand,
You give for ever.”
