Super Channel, Canada’s only national English pay television network, announced today it has pre-licensed the 8 episode documentary series Naked News Uncovered from Toronto based. The Super Channel original production, set to begin filming later this month, is slated to premiere exclusively on Super Channel in summer 2013. 
Naked News Uncovered is a quirky documentary series that smashes the fourth wall to tell the behind-the-scenes stories of the strangest news organization in the world. As the world’s first and only daily all nude news show, The Naked News burst onto the world scene in 1999 and garnered massive media attention. Produced in Toronto, The Naked News is a subscription website and daily TV newscast featuring attractive female anchors who shed all their clothes while delivering the news. It’s funny, sexy and often surreal…but it’s real! In 2012, The Naked News is still very much alive but is now undergoing a thorough re-examination of itself in order to grow its market share in a global marketplace…and looking to take the franchise to the next level.
“Naked News Uncovered will document and explore the fascinating, often hilarious world of a real-life group of oddballs who have made it their life’s work to produce one of the strangest daily shows in the world” commented series Co-creator and Director, Allan Novak. “The series will chronicle their ups and downs as they strive for greater acceptance and success in the mainstream media against a limitless sea of Internet and TV content.”
Barri Cohen, Co-creator and Producer added, “At Naked News, we found a quirky subculture of memorable characters that will make for a fascinating doc. It’s like a real life version of The Office crossed with the original Newsroom…but of course with naked anchorwomen.”
Naked News Uncovered is created and executive produced by Allan Novak and Barri Cohen of AllScreen Entertainment.
