This includes a journey to Wimbledon in 1987 to cover Pat Cash’s historic victory. He assumed the position of 2WS Sports Director the next year. In late 1988, he was offered a part-time job at Network Ten, which quickly led to an offer of full-time work as an evening news sports reporter.
Bill Woods Career
Woods started his TV vocation with Organization Ten in 1989. He began his career as a reporter, progressed to weekend fill-in presenting, and by the end of the year, he had become the primary sports anchor for Ten’s half-hour evening news alongside Ian Leslie. Not long after Eric Walters supplanted Leslie, Woods was supplanted by Graham Hughes. After working as a sports commentator for Tim Webster and Kerri-Anne Kennerley on Good Morning Australia, Woods was asked to stand in for Webster on several occasions. This prompted his arrangement in a progression of game transmissions outside the news division.
From 1992 to the middle of the 1990s, he was the host of Ten’s coverage of the National Basketball League and the play-by-play commentator for Sydney Kings home games. Woods went on in the newsroom as standard end-of-the-week moderator on Ten’s Games This Evening from 1996 to 2005, as well as going about as a backup moderator to Tim Webster on weeknights.
From 1997 to 2006, Woods was also Ten’s motorsports face. He co-hosted the magazine show RPM for six years with Barry Sheene, a former World Champion. The World Motorcycle Championship (Motogp) was also anchored and discussed by Sheene and Woods. The pair turned out to be firm companions, and Woods separated during the episode committed to Sheene after his demise from disease in 2003. Along with regular commentator Neil Crompton, Woods also served as a commentator for the V8 Supercar Championships Series in 2004.
Woods began hosting Ten Early News in January 2006. He took over Ten Weekend News permanently in 2007 and succeeded Tracey Spicer.
In January 2009, Woods supplanted Ron Wilson as moderator of Ten News at Five in Sydney. As a result of the Network Ten transitioning all Ten News at Five broadcasts to a single-anchor format in the latter part of 2012, Woods’ time as a presenter for Ten News at Five in Sydney and his employment with the network came to an abrupt end. His final broadcast aired on November 29, 2012. Woods was with Organization Ten for a very long time.
He presently co-has SportsFan Clubhouse on 7mate, which is a games diversion show comprised of sports news, perspectives and virtual entertainment. He also hosted the second season of Shannon’s Legends of Motorsport on 7mate, succeeding Neil Crompton as host.
He co-facilitated Bill and Boz on Fox Sports News, which was a games diversion show comprised of sports news, perspectives and web-based entertainment. On the brand-new Seven Network series Ultimate Tag in 2021, Woods served as a commentator.
