Naked News is a Canadian news and entertainment program owned by Naked Broadcasting Network. It features

news wires.[2] The show's production studio is located in Toronto. There are six daily news programs a week and they are approximately 20 minutes long.[3] The female cast members either read the news fully nude, or disrobe as they present their various segments,[4] including entertainment, sports, movies, food, sex and relationships. Naked News TV! is an offshoot of the web program and is broadcast on pay TV in various countries around the world.[5][6]

The show recruits women from around the world to appear on a regular basis or as guest reporters, and their auditions are included in the program.[citation needed] Another segment of the show is Naked in the Streets in which a reporter appears topless in the street and asks the public about various topics.[7]

History

Then-Naked News anchor Christine Kerr, in Toronto (Canada), 2008

Naked News was conceived by Fernando Pereira and Kirby Stasyna and debuted in December 1999

dot-com crash. By 2002, only one news segment could be viewed for free,[5] and by 2004, no free content remained on the website.[3] Beginning in 2005, a nudity-free version of Naked News was available to non-subscribers. Beginning in June 2008, two news segments could be viewed for free. However, this ended in December 2009.[citation needed

Following the success of

Too Much for TV pay-per-view network that also included Girls Gone Wild. In 2002, it was broadcast in Australia on The Comedy Channel via cable and satellite television platforms Foxtel and Austar.[5] The British channel Sumo TV briefly showed episodes of Naked News, while the free-to-view Playboy One
broadcast the show at 9:30pm Mondays-Fridays until its closure in 2008.

Naked News launched a Japanese version of the show in 2006.[11] Japanese broadcasting regulations prohibited the presenters from being fully naked, allowing them only to strip to their underwear.[12] In 2007, the Japanese government changed broadcasting guidelines to prevent the show receiving a subsidy for the section delivered in sign language.[13]

A male version of the show ran from 2001 until 2007. It was created to parallel the female version, but ceased production as it did not enjoy the female version's popularity and fame. Although it was originally targeted towards female viewers (at one point said to be 30% of the website's audience), the male show later promoted itself as news from a gay perspective.[14]

In the media

In 2013, Naked News was the subject of an eight-part documentary series called Naked News Uncovered, which was broadcast on

Super Channel in Canada.[15]

The female announcers have been featured on (

magazines (TV Guide, Playboy), and as guests on several radio shows, including Howard Stern.[16]
