The street-level report opened at about twelve times the station's usual first day and has drawn more comments than likes.

Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 56,637 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (4,810).

NYC block being 'taken over' by e-bikes, leaving residents concerned

Most of the big local news channels were running slow. CBS New York was at roughly half its normal daily pace, and CBS LA and FOX 13 Tampa Bay were well under theirs, with FOX 9 in Minneapolis among the few ahead of its norm. A neighborhood story from FOX 5 New York moved the other way.

"NYC block being 'taken over' by e-bikes, leaving residents concerned" passed 23,000 views within seven hours of going up. That puts it on course for about twelve times the first day a new FOX 5 upload usually gets. The comment section stands out even more: it already holds more comments than likes.

The title keeps things plain. One city block, a stream of e-bikes, and residents who are worried about it. Two days earlier, a nor'easter's coastal flooding was the upload pulling ahead on the channel. This time it is a story told at the level of a single street. FOX 5 is WNYW, the Fox-owned station on channel 5 in New York, and this time a complaint from one block drew its crowd.
