Hurricane Polo's Mexico landfall gives KTVU a crowd from afar

A day after a Dublin shooting report led the Oakland station's channel, a storm hundreds of miles from the Bay is the upload pulling ahead, while the channel as a whole runs well below its usual pace.

Hurricane Polo to make landfall in Mexico | KTVU

"Hurricane Polo to make landfall in Mexico | KTVU" is a storm report from KTVU FOX 2, the Bay Area's Fox station. Before its first day was even over, it had passed 100,000 views.

That is about twelve times what a new KTVU upload usually gathers in a full first day. It is also a change of subject. The last video to break away here was a local crime story, arrests in the Dublin shooting of a son-in-law. This one looks south, well beyond the station's own coverage area.

The rest of the channel is not moving at that speed. KTVU's overall daily views are running far below normal, and it is not alone: other local stations of a similar size, from FOX 13 Seattle to Toronto's CP24, are also in a slower stretch.

The title says only that Polo is headed for landfall in Mexico. For a station whose everyday material is Oakland, San Francisco and the towns around them, a hurricane is an unusual story to have at the top.
