World Sport (a singular 15' edition at 18:45) launched around the start of 2000 when the evening edition of The World Today was axed. As it seems to largely have served as a replacement for an extended Sport segment in that edition of TWT, I assume that it just used the same World Sport sting that was used previously (maybe an extended version of the one in this clip at 34:35). It seems unlikely they would've commissioned anything special for the three months ahead of the April rebrand. I'm afraid I don't know how the standalone World Sport was branded after April 2000, but, given they didn't give the programme its own name, it seems unlikely it was given anything particularly special in terms of branding.

Thanks DTV. I vaguely recall the post-April 2000 World Sport branding. From what I can remember, it used the same design as the sport sting from the news bulletins, but used a slightly extended mix of the David Lowe music. It was presented from the main news set in N9. Once Sport Today launched, they started presenting it from the 'soft' set in N9 which consisted of a strange desk of three triangular tiers surrounded by 'toblerones' with printed designs on them that could be turned round to change the look of the set. One was Sport Today branding, one was generic news branding and I'm afraid I can't remember what the other one was!

I loved world sport it had an extended version of the sport sting and I remember the globe spinning really fast twice and then into the headline vamp which was very funky iirc, I didn’t really enjoy sport today quite as much tbh from the dark soft set.
