WJZ | CBS Baltimore engagement report
@wjz - 271K followers on X
Measured over 73 original posts from a 30-day window, last computed on September 22, 2026.
Engagement
A typical post picks up 2 interactions against 271K followers, an engagement rate of 0.001%. Measured over 73 original posts, its engagement rate beats 4% of 20,183 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 1.5K times each, and 0.131% of those impressions turn into an interaction. That is about 0.562% of the follower count, which is the gap between an audience on paper and an audience in a timeline. Posting runs at about 2.7 posts a day over the last 30 days, though only 17% of days saw any activity at all. Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 73 posts sampled, 60% carry an image or video and 62% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 43 interactions, about 22x its own typical post. Recurring topics include #wjz, #baltimore, #fyp.

Compared with accounts its own size
WJZ | CBS Baltimore's engagement rate beats 4% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 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 8% 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 Tuesday 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 | 60% of posts | +111% | +108% to +115% | 34K |
| Outbound link | 62% of posts | -41% | -42% to -40% | 32K |
| Typical length | - | no effect | -2% to -1% | 42K |
- 60% 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.
- 62% 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 203 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.

A mustang that has been running wild for months near Liberty Reservoir in Carroll County, Maryland, was captured Thursday and taken to a horse rescue. Carroll County Animal Control says the horse is "now safe and settled into a stall," adding that patience was an important part of the process.

Emergency crews responded to a partial building collapse in East Baltimore late Sunday night after a section of a structure gave way just before midnight. Online listings identify the damaged site as the former People's Pentecostal Church of Maryland, which suffered extensive structural damage, leaving a large opening in the center of the building. City fire officials have not yet released a cause for the collapse, and it remains unconfirmed if anyone was injured. https://t.co/yqRqY13MBa

- What is WJZ | CBS Baltimore's engagement rate on X?
- WJZ | CBS Baltimore (@wjz) has an engagement rate of 0.001%, based on the median interactions across 73 original posts from the last 30 days against 271,383 followers. Replies, reposts and quote-posts of other people are excluded from that sample.
- Is that a good engagement rate?
- At 0.001%, WJZ | CBS Baltimore sits below the 10th percentile of the 203,043 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 @wjz have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 4% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (20,183 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 @wjz post?
- Most posts go out around 16:00 UTC, and Tuesday is its busiest day, at roughly 2.67 posts per day across the measured window.
