Starship's 14th test flight prep leads AP's Sunday rush
Three papal visits to Lourdes filled half of the six busiest slots, yet a rocket on the pad and a UK terror arrest moved faster than any of them.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
SpaceX's Starship rocket prepares for its 14th test flight
Barely a day old, "SpaceX's Starship rocket prepares for its 14th test flight" is the quickest thing on the Associated Press channel right now, running at roughly a hundred thousand views a day. Right behind it is "UK police arrest 5 men near US air base on suspicion of preparing terrorist act," with the South Africa bar shooting report in third.
All six of the busiest uploads landed on Sunday, out of fifteen for the week, and half of them followed Pope Leo XIV to Lourdes: the Mass before hundreds of thousands, a call to protect the weakest at the shrine, and his line calling assisted dying "false compassion." The three papal clips sit almost level with one another, each running at about a third of the rocket's pace.
The channel as a whole kept to its usual rhythm, and the subscriber count held where it was. Among news broadcasters of similar size, AP sits near the bottom by subscribers but toward the top for daily views. Only CBC News and NowThis Impact are drawing more, while The New York Times has a noticeably calmer week.
