Naked sports reports
News and news presenting has come a long way. Gone are the scripted times of news reading with news readers, looking like they might fall asleep at any time, would drone on giving the highlights on 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 thus gave rise to more channels that provided entertainment and knowledge in their specific spheres. Sports, entertainment, current affairs, all began to be hosted at their own specific domains and catered to their selected audience.
Sports have always experienced a huge fan base and enthusiasts are always keen on sourcing information regarding their preferred 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 networks.
This gave them a larger 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 from the realm of sports. Now sports channels have dedicated news channels which cover and bring for their viewers not only games but additionally 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 to make this agenda a reality. With new interactive show formats, to more engaging, attractive and intelligent presenters to sometimes giving complete makeovers to the channel, they do everything to remain on top.
One particular news provider that made a huge influence on news viewing was in the year 2000 when Naked News was released. This program was released as being a web based news service that featured an entire 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 merely one anchor, Victoria Sinclair, who presented all of the sections of the program. She remains an integral part of Naked News. Some of its initial success could be credited towards the free viewership on 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 one to eight female anchors. The show also brought in a number of guest anchors to help keep the format interesting. Following a crash of the internet boom, just one segment of the program could possibly be viewed for free and ultimately 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 also been very popular and have been featured in several television shows and have also been featured in many newspapers and magazines.
