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 of the days events. The arrival of satellite and cable tv changed everything and created the business enterprise 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 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 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 that were being held in areas beyond their network and began broadcasting them on their 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 from the world of sports. Now sports channels have dedicated news channels which cover and provide to their viewers not only games but also sports reviews, statistical game analysis, player updates and their performance reviews as well.

A large number of sport shows 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 at the top.

One particular news provider that created a huge impact on news viewing was in the year 2000 when Naked News was launched. The program was released 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 when they read the news and presented their segments.

Naked News began with only one anchor, Victoria Sinclair, who presented all the parts of the program. She remains an integral part of Naked News. Some of its initial success could be credited to the free viewership of the channel, which did become immensely popular even in the lack of a marketing strategy.

They were popularized through the word-of mouth medium and increased in numbers from one to eight female anchors. The show also brought in several guest anchors to keep the format interesting. Following a crash of the internet boom, just one segment on the program could possibly be viewed free of charge 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 extremely popular and also have been featured in a number of television shows and also have been featured in several newspapers and magazines.
