Hi Matt91486, welcome to this head-scratcher of an article. As your edit summary pointed out, we seem to have two "Ron Casey"s in Australia, each that at some point in their careers were sports presenters, each possibly hosting different, unconnected shows both named "World of Sport". In the discussion linked above, I suggested a PROD before we debated the move, to which Gonnym agreed. I spent a solid hour trying to figure out if this was a case of mistaken identity, conflated careers, etc... and I honestly don't know what the actual truth is because its down hard to track down sources for two such similar things. If this show really existed, then it lasted a much shorter time than the other one, which lasted about 30 years. What are your thoughts on how to proceed on this article? -- Netoholic @ 09:34, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * this site mentions the Melbourne versions a lot, but not even one mention of the Sydney version. I'm really thinking this might be the same show. Same host, same days, same hours, possibly same years.--Gonnym (talk) 09:52, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * That was my assumption also... perhaps the same show aired simultaneously on different channels in both Melbourne and Sydney, and the Sydney-based Ron Casey, who was also a sports presenter, was mistaken in some sources for the Melbourne Ron Casey who hosted it. The A to Z of Australian Radio and Television has entries for both, but doesn't mention a "World of Sport" show in the Sydney-based Ron Casey's entry.-- Netoholic @ 10:27, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
 * Unless I got confused on the obits, though (which is possible), it looks like the Sydney Ron Casey's obit does speficially mention it appearing on channel 9 there, as opposed to the one that appears on 7 in Melbourne -- which is a point of evidence that they might be different? matt91486 (talk) 16:25, 2 March 2019 (UTC)
