Gulf Spill Lifts Live Viewing for CNN.com

The Gulf of Mexico oil spill has fueled a heavy flood of live video viewing for CNN.com, as viewers flocked to the news site last month for its ongoing coverage of the disaster.

CNN.com delivered a total of 13 million live video streams in June, during which it provided a constant live feed of the spill from an underwater camera. That’s up from the 8 million video views the site served in May and way up from the roughly 2-3 million live views per month the site averaged earlier in the year.
