Naked sports reports
News and news presenting has come a long way. Gone are definitely the scripted days of news reading with news readers, appearing like they might fall asleep any moment, would drone on giving the highlights on the days events. The arrival of satellite and cable tv changed everything and made the business of news an important money crunching tool. With passing years, news started becoming much more category specific and so gave rise to more channels that provided entertainment and knowledge in their specific spheres. Sports, entertainment, current affairs, all started to be hosted at their own specific domains and catered for their selected audience.
Sports have always had a huge fan base and enthusiasts are invariably keen on sourcing more knowledge about their preferred sports. Several media giants went ahead into several alliances to achieve greater coverage of sports events that were being held in areas beyond their network and began broadcasting them on their networks.
This gave them an increased viewership that translated into higher revenues. Gradually from being broadcasters of live or recorded games, these sports channels developed programs that covered everything and anything that one required to know in the realm of sports. Now sports channels have dedicated news channels that cover and bring for their viewers not only games but also sports reviews, statistical game analysis, player updates as well as their performance reviews as well.
A large number of sports channels do compete against one another trying for greater viewerships and take major efforts to make this agenda a real possibility. With new interactive show formats, to more engaging, attractive and intelligent presenters to sometimes giving complete makeovers to the channel, they actually do everything to remain at the top.
One such news provider that made a huge impact on news viewing was in the year 2000 when Naked News was released. This program was launched as a web based news service that featured a complete television newscast and ran 25 minute daily shows from Toronto. The highlight of this program was that the presenters stripped while they read the news and presented their segments.
Naked News began with only one anchor, Victoria Sinclair, who presented all the parts of this program. She continues to be a part of Naked News. Some of its initial success could be credited to the free viewership of the channel, which did become immensely popular even in the lack of a marketing strategy.
They were popularized through the word-of mouth medium and increased in numbers from one to eight female anchors. The show also brought in several guest anchors to keep the format interesting. Following the crash of the internet boom, only one segment of the program could be viewed for free and eventually by 2004 the complete program was changed into a members only one with no segments available for free access.
The naked sports news presenters have been extremely popular and have been featured in a number of television shows and also have been featured in several newspapers and magazines.
