NBC's long-running morning show usually sees its new uploads begin quietly, which makes this Washington story's first day stand out.

White House Press Access at the Center of Trump-Media Clash
This one took off. "White House Press Access at the Center of Trump-Media Clash," posted on September 27, opened at a pace roughly 170 times what a new TODAY upload usually manages on its first day.
The channel is anything but small, and its large library keeps plenty of people watching every day. Its fresh uploads, though, tend to begin modestly. This segment was already past 300,000 views within about a day, a start the channel's new videos rarely come close to.
TODAY has been NBC's morning program since 1952, and its channel carries segments from the broadcast. This time the upload setting the pace was a story from Washington about press access at the White House.
