Naked sports reports
News and news presenting has come a long way. Gone are the scripted days of news reading with news readers, looking like they would go to sleep any moment, would drone on giving the highlights on the days events. The advent of satellite and cable television changed everything and made the business enterprise 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 information of their specific spheres. Sports, entertainment, current affairs, all began 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 more knowledge about their preferred sports. Several 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 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 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 additionally sports reviews, statistical game analysis, player updates as well as their performance reviews too.
A large number of sport shows do compete against one another trying for greater viewerships and take major efforts for making this agenda a reality. 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 remain on top.
One such news provider that created a huge influence on news viewing was in the year 2000 when Naked News was launched. The program was released as being a internet 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 sections of the program. She continues to be an integral part of Naked News. Some of its initial success could be credited to 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 a single to eight female anchors. The show also brought in several guest anchors to keep the format interesting. Following a crash in the internet boom, just one segment on the program could possibly be viewed for free and eventually by 2004 the complete program was changed into a members only one without any segments accessible for free access.
The naked sports news presenters have also been very popular and have been featured in several television shows and have been featured in several newspapers and magazines.
