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 of 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 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 very own specific domains and catered for their selected audience.
Sports have always had a huge fan base and enthusiasts are always keen on sourcing more knowledge about their preferred sports. A number of media giants went ahead into several alliances to achieve greater coverage of sports events which were being kept 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 in the world of sports. Now sports channels have dedicated news channels that cover and provide to their viewers not only games but also sports reviews, statistical game analysis, player updates as well as their performance reviews too.
Most of these sport shows do compete against one another 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 stay at the top.
One such news provider that created a huge influence on news viewing was in the year 2000 when Naked News was launched. This program was launched as 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 while they read the news and presented their segments.
Naked News began with merely one anchor, Victoria Sinclair, who presented all of the parts of the program. She continues to be a 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.
These folks were popularized by the word-of mouth medium and increased in numbers from one to eight female anchors. The show also introduced several guest anchors to help keep the format interesting. Following a crash of the internet boom, just one segment of the program could be viewed free of charge and eventually by 2004 the entire program was turned into a members only one without any segments available for free access.
The naked sports news presenters have also been very popular and also have been featured in a number of tv programs and have also been featured in several newspapers and magazines.
