news.com.au's VMAs 'iconic moments' reel opens eighty times faster
On its first day, one awards-night recap nearly matched the pace the whole Australian news channel usually keeps across everything it has posted.
news.com.auStory of Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 431,981 views a day, 81 times a normal first day on this channel (5,336).
The most iconic moments from this year's MTV Video Music Awards
What does Australia's big news site do with a night of American music television? It cuts it down to "The most iconic moments from this year's MTV Video Music Awards," and the recap drew views at more than 400,000 a day in its first day.
A new upload here usually opens with a few thousand. This one ran roughly eighty times faster. On its own, it came close to the daily pace of the entire channel, which spans entertainment, sport, money, real estate and more.
The VMAs have been MTV's show since 1984, and the winners take home the astronaut-shaped Moon Person trophy. This video leaves the winners' list aside. The description promises celebrity encounters and standout highlights, some that viewers will recognize at once and some small details that may have slipped past during the live broadcast. That suits a channel whose own about text sets out to cover the news with color, and with humor when it is least expected.
