Long Beach's emergency ahead of Hurricane Polo lifts CBS LA
The Los Angeles station's report on a coastal city bracing for a storm opened far above what its new uploads usually draw.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 96,195 views a day, 24 times a normal first day on this channel (4,060).
Long Beach declares state of emergency with impacts of Hurricane Polo looming
A storm warning broke the routine. CBS LA posted "Long Beach declares state of emergency with impacts of Hurricane Polo looming," and in its first day the report drew views at roughly two dozen times the pace a new upload on the station usually manages. A normal opening here is about four thousand.
CBS LA is no small channel, and it already moves a lot of video every day. Even so, this single report is carrying a sizable piece of everything the channel draws in a day.
The title says it plainly: a coastal city declaring an emergency before the storm arrives. Hurricanes rarely threaten Southern California, so perhaps the idea of one bearing down on Long Beach was reason enough to click.
