LIVE | Semi crashes into overpass on I-65 in Indiana, lanes blocked
Among the local news stations closest to FOX 32 Chicago in size, most are running well below their usual daily pace right now, from FOX 29 Philadelphia to KPIX in the Bay Area. FOX 32 is a notable exception: its views are moving at close to a normal clip, and over the week it gathered more than its crosstown neighbor's usual share would suggest, though NBC Chicago still edged it. The big week in the group belongs to NBCLA, far ahead of everyone.
Fifteen uploads went up, and the newest of them are the ones drawing viewers first. The most watched is a live stream from northbound I-65 near 73rd Avenue in Indiana, where a semi crashed into an overpass and blocked lanes. Within an hour it was the channel's busiest new video, and its comments come largely from commuters and people who say they were nearby, with hopes for the driver.
Closer to City Hall, business owners pushed back on a proposed ordinance that some aldermen pitch as a way to crack down on businesses accused of enabling criminal activity. A report from Joliet West High School, where a mother is demanding action over what her son says an assistant football coach said at practice, also went up the same morning.
The rest of the week's shelf is the station's routine, done steadily: Chicago Morning News, posted hour by hour, 5, 6 and 7 a.m. Subscribers held still, and the views did what a Chicago newsroom's views usually do.
