Irwin story leads MSNBC to biggest streaming day ever
Steve Safran September 6th, 2006
Another sign of broadband’s move into the mainstream came Tuesday at MSNBC.com. According to MSNBC, the site did a record-breaking seven million video streams in one day, on the strength of the Steve Irwin death story. One video with Matt Lauer interviewing friends of Steve Irwin pumped out two million streams alone. That’s astonishing. The story is big - but not Hurricane Katrina or 9/11 big. So this shows, in just the last several months, how much people have come to expect video from the web. Hard news did well, too - the Brian Williams interview of President Bush helped pull in 700,000 additional views of the Nightly News online.

Call me morbid, but I think folks were mostly hunting for the video of Irwin pulling the spine out of his chest. Many of the headlines and teasers written that day were along the lines of “Crocodile Hunter’s death caught on tape.”

sorry danny.
it was clear and made clear that the death scene wasn’t there. that 4mm streams of video consisted of people looking for information.
sure they want to see the other but anybody paying attention knew it was in the hands of the coroner and not for release.
god help us the feeding frenzy when it is released.
