Sydney 2000 Coverage

Found some coverage from Day 7. Jim Wilson hosting. Also note Matt Shirvington, who was then aged 21 (though turned 22 the following month) and of course is now the host of Sunrise.

Sydney 2000: The Best Ever re-airing on Nine tonight at 7:00 PM Local time.

For those looking forward to Brisbane 2032, the full Seven Broadcast of the Closing Ceremony is here. Mind you, the program that followed this (In Victoria, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory) happened to be The World’s Greatest Magic 5 with Pavarotti and Friends being rescheduled the following Saturday evening. In Western Australia, Seven News Western Australia was probably shown immediately afterwards at 7:00 PM AWST.
