At least 8 dead after New York City building collapses

What did you think?

Peyton Kennedy reports that crews have found six more bodies in Brooklyn, bringing the death toll from a building collapse to eight. Introduced by Mark Kelly and Nickelle Smith, her alert-desk update became WKRN News 2's most-watched upload of the week.

The brief report shows aerial views of rubble at Flatbush and Bedford Avenues, where a three-story building collapsed beside a construction site. Kennedy reports that people were hospitalized, some in critical condition, and that search operations continued. An eyewitness recalls the sudden crashing sounds and debris filling the air. The cause remains under investigation.

That update and an earlier report carrying the initial death toll are also the channel's fastest-moving videos right now. Alongside them is a distinctly Tennessee concern: "Tennessee high schools closing at alarming rates." Its description says the state ranks among the country's highest for high school closure rates. Other uploads examine changes to local government policies under the state's law defining sex and gender, and the next chapter for East Nashville's Dickerson Pike.

Across its busy publishing week, WKRN added about 1.4 million views and gained 1,000 subscribers. Its current daily viewing pace is below its usual level, even as the subscriber audience has grown. Among nearby-sized local news channels, CBS Pittsburgh had a larger weekly view gain, while CBC British Columbia drew a similar weekly total to WKRN. For WKRN, the immediate viewing momentum rests with the Brooklyn updates and the Tennessee school-closure report.
