The show was the brainchild of IMG founder, and sports marketing pioneer, Mark McCormack.[13][14] Since its very first show, Trans World Sport's objective has remained the same; to bring its viewers the best, the most interesting, and most informative stories from the world of sport. Their mantra has always been that there is no hierarchy in sport, and the idea is that what happens in La Liga has always been as important as what happens at the Sepak Takraw World Championship. They have had features on several sports stars, including a 16 year-old Carlos Alcaraz, a 14-year-old Tiger Woods, a teenage Virat Kohli, Usain Bolt, and Roger Federer, and on a 12-year-old Venus Williams and her 11-year-old sister, Serena Williams.

Trans World Sport has covered hundreds of different sports, and filmed with a countless number of World and Olympic champions. Out of the 203 International Olympic Committee (IOC) member nations, they have been to 183 of them; including North Korea and Papua New Guinea, while in 2012, they even filmed in Somalia.

The first show was narrated by Gerald Sinstadt, and after a succession of different narrators in the early nineties, the show settled on its current narrator: Sue Carpenter.

Bruce Hammal narrated the programme between 1989 and 2017.[15]
