SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 12, 2002
Grammys, Winter Olympics, Academy Awards, Print Publication, DVDs,
Movies -- The Online Anchors Candidly Discuss Their Assignments and
Spotlights
Last month, Naked Broadcasting Network Inc., made their first public appearance as an exhibitor at NATPE held in Las Vegas. The Toronto, Canada based corporation showcased their profitable daily netcast NakedNews.com, Naked News TV! and Naked News TV!-Weekly to television executives and content buyers. The webcast claims 6 million unique monthly visitors.
As part of their regular high tech tradeshow coverage, NDR was at NATPE with handheld multimedia equipment to report on the digital media scene and products. ABC Nightline host Ted Koppel received the Chairman's Award while Naked News showed full Monty newscasts from their 10X10 corner booth.
At trade shows, NDR snaps low resolution jpegs and then interviews a company representative using the built-in microphone of the digital still camera. "We do picture-radio-reports," explains Jack Olmsted, Senior Correspondent, "a multimedia hybrid that is 2002 net friendly."
