Caleb Flynn: Verdict reached in murder of former "American Idol" contestant's wife
Where did FOX 11 Los Angeles find its audience on a slow Tuesday? In a courtroom report. "Caleb Flynn: Verdict reached in murder of former "American Idol" contestant's wife" passed nearly 100,000 views within eight hours of going up.
That pace is close to thirty times what a new FOX 11 upload usually gathers on its first day, and it came while the channel as a whole was running far below its normal daily pace. The title says only that a verdict has been reached in the killing of a woman whose husband once competed on American Idol. It does not give the decision.
The slow stretch is not FOX 11's alone. CBS LA, CBS New York and FOX 13 Tampa Bay were all below their usual levels, and KTLA 5 was close to its normal pace. Against that backdrop, this report is drawing an unusual amount of conversation for the station: its comments are running almost level with its likes.
