Richard Quest reaches the inside of the Statue of Liberty and finds something he wasn't expecting. With park ranger Matthew Housch, he explores the engineering behind that thin copper skin, part of Coy Wire's October 28 broadcast marking the monument's dedication anniversary.
That edition was CNN 10's most-watched of six new uploads this week, reaching about 385,000 views. Its title, "How a student-led movement ousted Serbia's long-term president | October 28, 2026", points to the other substantial story: Sebastian Shukla reports from Serbia after a student-led movement's parliamentary election victory ended Aleksandar Vučić's long hold on power. Street celebrations accompany an explanation of how the movement grew.
The episode then moves from political change to astronomical research into "The Starry Night", before finishing its community coverage with Minnesota's Straightest Stick Contest. A yardstick, it turns out, does not qualify. That range is particularly CNN 10: international reporting and art history share a broadcast with an extremely specific local contest.
The strongest daily viewing momentum now belongs to Monday's cryptocurrency-heist edition, whose title attributes responsibility to North Korea, citing the FBI. Friday's Halloween-history episode is also continuing to draw viewers. The newest broadcast brings together students helping Maine polling places, Ukrainian family reunions and NASA's simulated Mars living conditions.
Across the channel, daily views are close to their usual level, while the week brought about 10,000 additional subscribers. Among nearby-sized broadcasters, Times Now World is seeing above-usual daily viewing and Times Radio is quieter than normal. CNN 10's own week rests on its distinctive mix of compact news explanations and classroom-friendly detours.
