Ashley Judd's family chapter outpaces Real Stories' 9/11 archive

A day-old Who Do You Think You Are USA? episode is drawing views a little faster than two 9/11 documentaries that have each passed a million.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Among documentary and journalism channels, Real Stories sits fourth by subscribers in its group, and its daily views land in the middle of the pack. WIRED and BBC Earth are the busy ones this week, while truly and BBC deepwatch keep a calmer pace.

Four new uploads went up, and the last one has taken the lead. "Ashley Judd Uncovers Her Family’s Darkest Chapter | Who Do You Think You Are USA?" arrived on Sunday and is already the channel's quickest mover. The Harrods insiders video on Mohamed Al-Fayed opened at a similar clip before settling down. The police torture investigation and the Fukushima exclusion zone film are ticking over more slowly.

The real surprise is how close the older material runs. "9/11 The First Hours Minute By Minute (Intense Footage)" and "Untold 9/11 Survivor Stories From Inside the Twin Towers" are both past a million views at around two and a half weeks old, and they are still pulling almost as hard as the brand-new episode. Overall, the channel is moving at its usual pace.
