An RAF base arrest report pulls Sky News nearly twelve times ahead
The plainly titled Sunday report stands out even on a channel that already draws more daily views than CBS News.
Sky NewsStory of Why this story? The video opened at a pace of 318,756 views a day, 12 times a normal first day on this channel (27,151).
Five men arrested after major incident near RAF base
Among the big news broadcasters, Sky News sits in a comfortable middle place for daily views. NBC News and MS NOW are busier, CBS News is a step behind, and VICE News, with almost exactly as many subscribers, draws only a small fraction of what the British channel does.
On a channel that busy, a single upload rarely stands out. "Five men arrested after major incident near RAF base" did. Posted on Sunday, it spent its first day moving at nearly twelve times the pace of a typical Sky News debut, and it is already closing in on 200,000 views.
The title keeps to the facts of the story: five arrests, a major incident, and a Royal Air Force base. The last time Sky News stood out, the video ahead was a statement from Manchester City's chairman. This time the pace belongs to a straight security report, the kind of story a 24-hour British news channel exists to cover.
