Engagement
A typical post picks up 94 interactions against 2.1M followers, an engagement rate of 0.005%. Measured over 149 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 3,774 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 12K times each, and 0.804% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

Posting runs at about 5.2 posts a day over the last 30 days, with activity on roughly 73% of days. Most posts go out around 12:00 UTC, and Monday is the busiest day of the week. Of the 149 posts sampled, 99% carry an image or video and 11% link out. The account's strongest tracked post pulled 599 interactions, about 6.4x its own typical post.

Compared with accounts its own size
EastAfricaTV's engagement rate beats 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 50% 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 36,654 accounts in this comparison. That places it in the bottom 25% band, which runs below 0.012%.

Posting timing
This account posts most often around 12:00 UTC, and Monday 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.

#HABARI Aliyekuwa Waziri wa Zambia, Mutotwe Kafwaya, amefariki dunia baada ya kujeruhiwa kwa risasi katika operesheni ya vikosi vya usalama iliyofanyika katika nyumba inayodaiwa kuwa ya kiongozi wa upinzani Brian Mundubile, siku moja baada ya uchaguzi wa urais nchini humo. Msemaji wa polisi amesema Kafwaya alipigwa risasi na maafisa wa usalama na kujeruhiwa vibaya kabla ya kufariki. Watu 11 walikamatwa katika operesheni hiyo, huku mamlaka zikikituhumu chama cha NRPUP kwa kuhusika na uasi na shughuli za kijeshi za wanamgambo. Mundubile, ambaye amejificha, amekanusha madai hayo na kuyaita uzushi. Kwa mujibu wa matokeo rasmi, Rais Hakainde Hichilema alishinda muhula wa pili kwa asilimia 60 ya kura, huku Mundubile akipata asilimia 38 na kutangaza kupinga matokeo hayo mahakamani. Polisi ilithibitisha kifo cha Kafwaya Jumatano usiku, wakati kukiwa na ongezeko la wito kwa mamlaka kutoa maelezo zaidi kuhusu mazingira ya kifo chake na operesheni hiyo ya kiusalama iliyofanyika Lusaka. #EastAfricaTv #TogetherTunawakilisha

#HABARI Kijana maarufu mkoani Arusha anayefahamika kwa jina la Labani amezikwa leo katika Mtaa wa Matejo, baada ya kufariki dunia Agosti 15, 2026. Taarifa za awali zilieleza kuwa Labani aliangukiwa na ukuta wakati akinyeshea ukuta katika nyumba ya kaka yake, lakini vijana waliomfahamu wamekanusha taarifa hizo na kusema alifariki baada ya kuugua ghafla kifua na tumbo. Mazishi yake yamewakutanisha ndugu, jamaa, marafiki na vijana waliokuwa karibu naye, huku wakimkumbuka kwa maisha na nyakati walizoshirikiana. Mwanadada Latifa amewaomba wote waliowahi kukwazana na Labani kumsamehe, akisema marehemu hana tena nafasi ya kueleza upande wake au kuomba msamaha, huku akimuomba Mungu amsamehe makosa yake na ampokee katika rehema zake. #EastAfricaTv #TogetherTunawakilisha

Measured over 149 original posts, its engagement rate beats 34% of 3,774 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 12K times each, and 0.804% of those impressions turn into an interaction.

- What is EastAfricaTV's engagement rate on X?
- EastAfricaTV (@eastafricatv) has an engagement rate of 0.005%, based on the median interactions across 149 original posts from the last 30 days against 2,063,155 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 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 @eastafricatv have real engagement?
- Its engagement rate beats 34% of the tracked X accounts closest to it in follower count (3,774 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 12:00 UTC, and Monday is its busiest day, at roughly 5.2 posts per day across the measured window.
