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 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 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 very own specific domains and catered to their selected audience.
Sports have always experienced a huge fan base and enthusiasts are invariably keen on sourcing information regarding their favorite 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 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 as well.
A large number of sports channels 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 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 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 in 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 of the parts of this program. She continues to be a part of Naked News. Most 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 one to eight female anchors. The show also introduced 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 free of charge and eventually by 2004 the complete program was turned into a members only one without any segments accessible for free access.
The naked sports news presenters have been very popular and also have been featured in several television shows and also have been featured in many newspapers and magazines.
