Among the news channels of a similar size, only one gathered more views over the past seven days than 10 News. The Australian broadcaster posted 15 videos across the week, even though its daily pace has slipped below what is normal for it.

The two most watched uploads were both from 10's Late News and dealt with the same report: a laboratory researcher in Russia who died from a suspected form of the plague, and the US State Department's call for Moscow to be open about it.

Right behind them came a sports story. South Melbourne, the club fans still call Hellas, faces A-League side Melbourne Victory in the Australia Cup Final, a match the description says is being billed as one of the biggest in the country's football history. Club president Bill Papastergiadis says his side will not be making up the numbers at AAMI Park. South Melbourne was a powerhouse of the old National Soccer League, and the video's tags point to that past, Ange Postecoglou included. He won league titles there as a player and as a coach.

Away from the sport, a Queensland report found that legal tobacco sales have risen by almost 55 per cent since the state's tough new laws took effect, after more than 300 illegal shops were shut down.
