Naked News, “the program with nothing to hide,” has been a global phenomenon even in its beginnings, stating they were “getting up to six million unique hits a month.” However, during its earlier days, it was also known as being strict towards the selection of their anchors. Kathy Pinckert, at one time the vice president of Naked Broadcasting Network Inc., said this about their anchors: “If you look at the women, they’re all very attractive, but they’re not the same kind of women you might find on other sites on the Internet. These are healthy, wholesome, normal looking women. Seeing them makes you feel better about the way you look.” Especially pointing out the latter (“normal looking women”), one can only assume that Naked News had tried to separate itself from porn or even Playboy models.
However, in late 2002 until early 2003, Naked News featured a former Playboy model as an anchor, or, to be more precise, as an entertainment correspondent. Her name was Kelli Graham, originally from Miami. According to Naked News‘ website, Kelli was featured for six appearances in Playboy magazine (a.o. Playboy’s Voluptuous Vixens in the October 2000 and September 2001 issues, and you can view her delivering Naked News’ “Fringe Report” from December 2002, above).
