KCPQ bucked the trend of main station pages driving engagement on Facebook. Unlike other stations that saw 97 percent engagement on the main page, only 84 percent engagement came from the main KCPQ page while the rest came from sub brand pages and individuals. The top individual on Facebook was anchor and Washington’s Most Wanted host David Rose with a 1.23 Share. He generated nearly 59,000 engagements on his page in the last 30 days.

On Twitter, KCPQ held on to the second place spot, followed by KOMO, then KIRO. On Instagram, KIRO came in second and KOMO third.

Of the top 10 individuals in the market, six work for KCPQ, two work for KOMO and two work for KIRO.
