Measured over 71 original posts, its engagement rate beats 31% of 20,444 tracked accounts of a similar size, which puts it in the middle of its size range rather than at either end. Posts are seen about 6.9K times each, and 0.707% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 2.59% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 3.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 60% of days. Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 71 posts sampled, 66% carry an image or video and 70% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 3.4K interactions, about 70x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size

CBS Sunday Morning 🌞's engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 9 of 10)). A percentile is spread evenly by construction, so 50 really is the middle of that group and 90 really is its top tenth.

On engagement per impression rather than per follower it beats 34% of the same group. When those two numbers disagree, the gap is about how far its posts travel rather than how people react to them.

Where this sits in the catalog

At 0.018%, CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,583 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.024%.

Engagement rate as a share of followers, across the 204,583 accounts we have scanned enough to measure. The axis is logarithmic, because the top and bottom of this population are about 22,891 times apart and a linear axis would flatten everything below the median into a single point.

Posting timing

This account posts most often around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day of the week. The bars below are the catalog-wide pattern, with this account's own busiest slot marked. They do not show how this account performs at each hour: we keep one aggregate per account, not one per hour, so that measurement does not exist in our data.

Formats this account uses

Its own posting mix on the left, and what each of those formats does across every account we track on the right. Only formats where the effect clears our publish test appear here, so an empty row is a format we could not measure rather than one that does nothing.

This account's posting mix compared with catalog-wide effects
FormatThis accountCatalog effect95% intervalAccounts behind it
Image or video66% of posts+111%+108% to +115%34K

  • 66% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 111% above the same accounts' other posts.
  • 70% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts, so a large share of this account's output sits in the weakest bucket we measure.
  • Its average post runs 265 characters, which falls in the 180 - 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts of 180 to 280 characters match the same accounts' other posts almost exactly.

These are catalog-wide differences applied to this account's own posting mix, not a measurement of how each format performs for this account specifically. We keep one median per account, not one per format per account, so the second thing is not something this data can tell you.

    The small town of Gander in the Canadian province of Newfoundland saw its population virtually double when U.S. airspace was closed on 9/11, grounding 38 international flights on an island in the Atlantic Ocean. For five days, Newfoundlanders gave shelter and comfort to 7,000 stranded passengers and crew members. @conorknighton talks with Newfoundlanders who volunteered during the emergency, whose generosity to the "plane people" inspired the Broadway musical @wecomefromaway.

    “This little boy shouldn't have to walk behind his mother's coffin”: Charles Spencer, Princess Diana’s younger brother, told Mark Phillips about the handling of Prince Harry’s grief following the death of his mother. “I just wonder if a gentler, more understanding treatment of his grief then might have helped him. That everyone might have found a happier course ahead,” Earl Spencer said of Harry’s current difficulty with his family. Watch more of their conversation Sunday.

    In his first interview about his new book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister," Charles Spencer talks with Mark Phillips about his attempt to set down what he calls the true history of the life of his sister, Princess Diana. He also talks about Prince Harry's grief after Diana's death, suggesting that a "more understanding treatment" of the young prince at the time might have led to "a happier course ahead." https://t.co/OCxZ8sGZ8S

    Prince Charles seemed “upbeat” and “giddy” following Princess Diana’s death, Charles Spencer, the late princess’ brother, told Mark Phillips. In his new book, “Swan Song,” Earl Spencer writes that then-Prince Charles may have felt free to pursue Camilla: “Why would somebody feel giddy at that time?” When asked about these allegations, Buckingham Palace referred to a statement it released earlier this week saying that the King is “mindful that the pain of fraternal grief can cloud reason, affect judgment and colour memory in ways others do not recognise, even many years after such a loss.” Watch more of Charles Spencer’s conversation with Mark Phillips on Sunday.

What is CBS Sunday Morning 🌞's engagement rate on X?
CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 (@CBSSunday) has an engagement rate of 0.018%, based on the median interactions across 71 original posts from the last 30 days against 267,960 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
Is that a good engagement rate?
At 0.018%, CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 sits above the 10th percentile of the 204,583 accounts in this comparison. Those comparison accounts are all large ones, because our scanning cadence is weighted towards big accounts, so this is a ranking among peers of similar scale rather than a ranking across X.
Does @CBSSunday have real engagement?
Its engagement rate beats 31% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,444 accounts), which puts it in the middle of its size range group. Ranking inside a size band matters because engagement rate falls as accounts grow, so a raw rate would mostly re-measure the follower count. It is a starting point for a look at follower quality, not a verdict on it.
When does @CBSSunday post?
Most posts go out around 14:00 UTC, and Sunday is its busiest day, at roughly 3.1 posts per day across the measured window.
