KTN News engagement report
@KTNNewsKE - 882K followers on X
Measured over 40 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 22, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 1 interaction against 882K followers, an engagement rate of 0%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 1% of 1,003 tracked accounts of a similar size. That is a reason to look at how the audience behaves - reply depth, saves, whether the followers are recent - rather than a conclusion about it on its own. Posts are seen about 1.6K times each, and 0.063% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.18% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 1.3 post a day over the last 30 days, though only 3% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Saturday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 38% carry an image or video and 65% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 28 interactions, about 28x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #scoreline, #newsdesk.

Compared with accounts its own size
KTN News's engagement rate beats 1% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 5 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 3% 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 under 0.001%, KTN News sits below the 10th percentile of the 10,480 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.007%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Saturday 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.
| Format | This account | Catalog effect | 95% interval | Accounts behind it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Image or video | 38% of posts | +79% | +73% to +85% | 5.8K |
| Outbound link | 65% of posts | -49% | -50% to -47% | 6.1K |
| Typical length | - | +13% | +10% to +15% | 6.4K |
- 38% of this account's sampled posts carry an image or video. Across the catalog, posts with an image or video run 79% above the same accounts' other posts.
- 65% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 49% 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 300 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 13% above the same accounts' other posts.
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 United Nations defines enforced disappearance as an act of state terror. Historically associated with military dictatorships' rule, it is used by authoritarian regimes to suppress dissent by placing individuals beyond legal protection. In Kenya, recent disappearances have primarily targeted terrorism suspects, alleged criminals, and anti-government protesters, most of whom were released without charge. https://t.co/0GhcqJXF9B

OPINION: The good news, however, is that ODM can still redeem itself by addressing the ‘six elephants’ in its closet. First, some insiders have become a burden, and Dr Oburu must rein them in. The likes of chairperson Gladys Wanga, MPs Peter Kaluma, George Aladwa, our very own ‘Judas Iscariot’ and others whose public speeches have become proud and less persuasive, should rethink their messaging. https://t.co/YxnsutahUh

A Sh300,000 payment and a string of calls to a senior police officer suspected of involvement in Dr Victoria Nthunya Mutiso’s murder have placed city lawyer Angela Mulwa at the centre of a police investigation into the killing. The fresh details emerged yesterday after the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) filed an application before Milimani magistrate Joan Mati seeking 14 more days to detain advocate Mulwa as detectives complete investigations into her alleged role in the murder of her stepmother. https://t.co/F4Aie8RJzr

OPINION: There are books I read because I must, and there are books I read because they make me think differently about life. The Bible has become the latter for me. I was first encouraged to read it afresh by the Rev Joseph Kisoi of Africa Nazarene University. As part of my LLB studies, I took a course in Biblical Studies. One of the requirements was for each student to choose a book of the Bible and study it closely, making daily reflections on the text. I chose Acts. https://t.co/D5zFXE6Ngc

- What is KTN News's engagement rate on X?
- KTN News (@KTNNewsKE) has an engagement rate of 0%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 882,156 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At under 0.001%, KTN News sits below the 10th percentile of the 10,480 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 @KTNNewsKE have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 1% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (1,003 accounts), which puts it in the bottom 10% for its size 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 @KTNNewsKE post?
- Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Saturday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
