Video taking off 31x its usual first day
A nor'easter report gives Good Morning America an unusual start
The East Coast storm segment passed a hundred thousand views within a day, on a channel where new uploads usually open with a few thousand.
Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 166,945 views a day, 31 times a normal first day on this channel (5,401).
Nor'easter slams East Coast, bringing heavy rain and wind, coastal flooding
"Nor'easter slams East Coast, bringing heavy rain and wind, coastal flooding" is a straight weather report, the kind of segment Good Morning America runs on any stormy morning. On the ABC News morning show's channel, though, this one did not behave like a routine forecast.
A new upload there usually begins quietly and settles in. This storm report opened at about thirty times that usual first-day pace, and it kept moving into its second day.
That stands out on a channel with a deep library that draws a steady flow of views every day. On its own, this single segment is running at roughly a sixth of the whole channel's daily pace, carried by nothing more than a title that tells you exactly what it covers: rain, wind and water along the coast.
