EastAfricaTV engagement report
@eastafricatv - 2.1M followers on X
Measured over 284 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on October 7, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 104 interactions against 2.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.005%. Measured over 284 original posts, its engagement rate beats 27% of 15,519 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 11K times each, and 0.93% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.539% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 10.1 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on almost every day in the window. Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 284 posts sampled, 100% carry an image or video. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 655 interactions, about 6.3x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #habari, #michezo, #dadaz.

Compared with accounts its own size
EastAfricaTV's engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 accounts, accounts of similar size (decile 10 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 48% 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 0.005%, EastAfricaTV sits above the 10th percentile of the 156,027 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.022%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday 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 | 100% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 3% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | +15% | +14% to +16% | 32K |
- 100% 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.
- 3% of its posts carry a link off X. Across the catalog, posts with an outbound link run 41% below the same accounts' other posts.
- Its average post runs 715 characters, which falls in the over 280 characters band. Across the catalog, posts over 280 characters run 15% 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.

#HABARI Baraza la Mitihani la Tanzania (NECTA) na Wizara ya Elimu Tanzania wametia mabadiliko rasmi ya elimu ya msingi ambapo wanafunzi waliopo Darasa la Tano mwaka huu (2026) wanatarajiwa kumaliza elimu ya msingi mwaka ujao wa 2027 wakiwa Darasa la Sita. Kwa mujibu wa taarifa ya leo Septemba 18, 202- iliyotolewa na NECTA, mabadiliko hayo yanatokana na utekelezaji wa Sera Mpya ya Elimu na Mafunzo ya Mwaka 2014 (Toleo la 2023), ambayo imepunguza muda wa elimu ya msingi kutoka miaka saba hadi miaka sita yaani kuanzia Darasa la 1 hadi la 6. NECTA imeitaja 2027 kama mwaka wa Mpito ambapo wanafunzi hawatasoma Darasa la Saba, badala yake, watafanya Mtihani wa Kumaliza Elimu ya Msingi (PSLE) wakiwa Darasa la Sita mnamo mwaka 2027 na kisha kujiunga na Kidato cha Kwanza mwaka 2028. #EastAfricaTv #TogetherTunawakilisha

#HABARI Jeshi la Polisi Dar es Salaam linamshikilia Conrad Agonza Kayoza, mwenye umri wa miaka 35, kwa tuhuma za kumshambulia kwa ngumi na mateke askari wa Usalama Barabarani aliyekuwa akitekeleza majukumu yake eneo la Lugalo, Kinondoni. Tukio hilo limetokea leo Septemba 8, 2026, majira ya saa 1:30 asubuhi katika Barabara ya Bagamoyo, ambapo Askari Polisi namba F.8886 SGT Andrew aliwaelekeza madereva kutotumia Service Road nje ya utaratibu, ikiwemo gari aina ya Toyota Runx lenye namba T 455 EER. Polisi imesema baada ya kusimamishwa, Conrad alishuka kwenye gari na kuanza kumshambulia askari huyo. Baadaye mtuhumiwa naye alishambuliwa na wananchi waliokuwa eneo hilo, kabla ya kupelekwa hospitalini kwa matibabu. Jeshi la Polisi limesema mtuhumiwa atahojiwa kwa kina baada ya kupata nafuu ili hatua za kisheria zichukuliwe, huku likitoa onyo kali kuwa halitasita kuchukua hatua dhidi ya mtu au kundi lolote litakalowashambulia askari wakati wakitekeleza majukumu yao. #EastAfricaTv #TogetherTunawakilisha

#HABARI Tundu Lissu ameendelea kuwasilisha hoja za utetezi katika kesi ya uhaini, akidai kuwa ushahidi uliopo Mahakamani unaibua mashaka makubwa na ya msingi kuhusu kesi ya upande wa mashitaka. Lissu amesema Shahidi wa Kwanza, George Bagyem, ndiye aliyeamua kufunguliwa kwa faili la uhaini siku nne baada ya kuonyeshwa video ya mkutano wake, bila kwanza kuomba mwongozo kutoka kwa wakubwa wake. Lissu ameiomba Mahakama kuangalia kumbukumbu za ushahidi huo, akisisitiza kuwa hatua hiyo ilichukuliwa bila ushauri wa ZPC wala DCI Kingai. #EastAfricaTv #TogetherTunawakilisha

- What is EastAfricaTV's engagement rate on X?
- EastAfricaTV (@eastafricatv) has an engagement rate of 0.005%, based on the median interactions across 284 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,065,193 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.005%, EastAfricaTV sits above the 10th percentile of the 156,027 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 @eastafricatv have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 27% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (15,519 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 @eastafricatv post?
- Most posts go out around 13:00 UTC, and Thursday is its busiest day, at roughly 10.13 posts per day across the measured window.
