Metro’s Digital Audience Continues to Grow

metro.us digital audience (february 2017)

Yet another record month for online traffic! In February 2017, metro had its largest digital audience ever, beating out the previous record holder of January 2017.

Digital traffic increased by 44% compared to last year. Metro.us delivers over 1.2 million users a month.

As metro’s readership keeps growing our digital audience is expanding too. February 2017 delivered a new record high for online traffic with 1.2 million monthly users. The increase digital audience is in part thanks to the wild super bowl on February 5 and metro’s great online coverage.

The numbers don’t lie: metro.us is a go-to digital destination for news, sports and entertainment.
