NBC10 Philadelphia engagement report
@NBCPhiladelphia - 570K followers on X
Measured over 40 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on August 26, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 570K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 6% of 3,774 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 2.5K times each, and 0.121% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.435% 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 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 185 interactions, about 62x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
NBC10 Philadelphia's engagement rate beats 6% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 8 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 10% 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.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday 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.

Reading these numbers
A typical post picks up 3 interactions against 570K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 40 original posts, its engagement rate beats 6% of 3,774 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 2.5K times each, and 0.121% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.435% 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 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 40 posts sampled, 100% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 185 interactions, about 62x its own typical post.
- What is NBC10 Philadelphia's engagement rate on X?
- NBC10 Philadelphia (@NBCPhiladelphia) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 40 original posts from the last 30 days against 570,256 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, NBC10 Philadelphia sits below the 10th percentile of the 36,654 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 @NBCPhiladelphia have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 6% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 @NBCPhiladelphia post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Wednesday is its busiest day, at roughly 1.33 posts per day across the measured window.
