The Sydney Morning Herald reports,

Toronto-based Naked News, “the program with nothing to hide,” is expanding its foreign-language coverage in an attempt to gain a worldwide audience.

The program, which features nine female anchors reading the news in the nude or stripping as they present their news segments, will now be broadcast in Spanish, Italian and Korean, along with its already available Japanese broadcasts.

Naked News President David Warga said the licensing agreements are confidential and could not divulge the names of the local affiliates that will be producing the shows in Milan, Mexico and South Korea.

The multilingual broadcasts will be available online and through mobile providers, as well as on traditional pay-per-view television stations. Naked News TV is currently available on pay-per-view in the US, Europe, Australia, Asia and Canada.

The channel gets its information from regular news services and uses professionally trained writers and directors to produce the bulletins of political, business, sport and entertainment news.

“The original Naked News English version has always focused and presented an international broadcast. Now with the addition of the foreign-language licensees, our intention at Naked News is to be a global media source, much like CNN or BBC World,” Warga said. “We have a worldwide audience, but we haven’t been able to give them localized news until now.”

Created by Fernando Pereira and Kirby Stasyna, Naked News first aired online in 1999 and created quite a lot of attention as anchors aired themselves and the news. The website was popularized mainly by word of mouth and during its height in 2001 was registering 6 million “unique visitors” a month, which was almost two-thirds of the 9 million monthly viewers registered by CNN at the time.

We here in the states are not in the dark with naked news anchors.

Sharon Reed was one of hundreds of people who participated in Spencer Tunick’s nude photo installation in downtown Cleveland in June. Her report, shown Monday on WOIO-TV, showed far away angles of her nude and some closer semi-nude shots, as well as other participants. [see NSFW pictures here]

There was also former Youngstown, Ohio anchorwoman Catherine Bosley. Bosley was forced to resign from her job after a video of her participating in a Key West wet t-shirt contest was found on the net. Bosley streaked to #20 on the AOL Search Index. [see her NSFW photo after the jump below]

On a personal note, what’s wrong with her left boob? It looks like it was stuck on there with velcro.
