Naked sports news
News and news presenting has come a long way. Gone are the scripted days of news reading with news readers, appearing like they might go to sleep any moment, would drone on giving the highlights of the days events. The arrival of satellite and cable television changed everything and made the business of news a major money crunching tool. With passing years, news started becoming even 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 experienced a huge fan base and enthusiasts are invariably keen on sourcing information regarding their preferred sports. A number of media giants went ahead into several alliances to gain greater coverage of sports events that were being held in areas beyond their network and began broadcasting them on their own 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 which cover and bring to their viewers not only games but also sports reviews, statistical game analysis, player updates as well as their performance reviews too.
A large number of sports channels do compete against each other trying for greater viewerships and take major efforts for making this agenda a real possibility. With new interactive show formats, to more engaging, attractive and intelligent presenters to sometimes giving complete makeovers for the channel, they actually do everything to stay on top.
One particular news provider that created a huge impact on news viewing was in the year 2000 when Naked News was launched. The program was launched as being 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 when they read the news and presented their segments.
Naked News began with only one anchor, Victoria Sinclair, who presented all of the parts of the program. She remains an integral part of Naked News. Some of its initial success can be credited towards the free viewership on the channel, which did become immensely popular even in the lack of a marketing and advertising strategy.
These folks 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, just one segment on the program could possibly be viewed free of charge and eventually by 2004 the complete program was changed into a members only one without any segments available for free access.
The naked sports news presenters have also been extremely popular and also have been featured in a number of television shows and also have also been featured in many newspapers and magazines.
