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 fall asleep any moment, would drone on giving the highlights of the days events. The advent of satellite and cable television changed everything and created the business of news a major 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 of their specific spheres. Sports, entertainment, current affairs, all started to be hosted at their very own specific domains and catered to their selected audience.
Sports have always had a huge fan base and enthusiasts are invariably interested in sourcing information regarding their favorite sports. A number of 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 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 needed 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 too.
Most of these 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 such news provider that made a huge influence on news viewing was in the year 2000 when Naked News was released. The program was released 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 the sections of this program. She continues to be an integral part of Naked News. Most of its initial success can be credited towards the free viewership of the channel, which did become immensely popular even in the lack of a marketing and advertising strategy.
They were popularized by the word-of mouth medium and increased in numbers from a single to eight female anchors. The show also introduced several guest anchors to help keep the format interesting. Following the crash in the internet boom, just one segment of the program could be viewed free of charge and eventually by 2004 the complete program was turned into a members only one without any segments available for free access.
The naked sports news presenters have been very popular and have been featured in a number of tv programs and also have been featured in many newspapers and magazines.
