In response to the recent Page 3 furore, the BBC and Sky should introduce topless news readers.

    Why? Their legs are already hidden behind the desk so if they have nothing above the waist they will be invisible to camera. I prefer a fully formed human being and wouldn't wish just a pair of legs on anybody, newsreaders included.

    Are you drunk by the way? This thread isn't going to last too long before it's top and bottomless.

    Live TV did it back in the 90s, old gimmick.

    Ha! Ha! I seriously doubt that that'll happen.

    L!VE TV was a really budget cable / satellite channel from the mid to late 90's.

    I don't remember there being topless newsreaders but they did have topless darts, weather girls in bikinis and a woman reading the financial news that stripped to her undies whilst reading the items.

    Live TV had topless darts. They tried but never quite got as far as getting the newsreaders to go topless although they did make them wear revealing themed outfits I think. They also had a dwarf on a trampoline presenting the weather forecast.

    They had the nude news and weather at 11 PM and then a bizarre show called Naked Elvis on after. However I can assure you, they certainly did have nude models doing a weather forecast and the day's headlines.

    Naked weathermen too......I bet Tomas Schafernacker would jump at the chance considering the buff body he exposed in a mag once, which I think made a few of his colleagues raise their eyebrows in amused shock. :o

    If ever BBC wanted an all time ratings winner, then that would be all they needed to do :) Jane Hill reading the news topless followed by the weather forecast with Carol topless.

    The problem is, that for every Hill, Croxall & Raworth, you would have to ( for reasons of equality ) have a McCoy, Owens & Willcox.

    Eeurgh!!!

    Kay Burley standing up at the news wall on Sky News rather sums that word up. :blush:

    I think ITV should do this on Good Morning Britain it would push up the ratings if Susanna, Ranvir, Kate and Charlotte went topless along with Laura Tobin

    Ah, okay. That explains why. I thought they just meant live TV.

    The Japanese go for something much stronger than mere topless newsreaders!! For the less sensitive...
    Google bukkake newsreaders
