Metro’s Digital Audience Hits New Heights

metro.us digital audience (january 2017)

A new record month for online traffic! In January 2017, metro had its largest digital audience ever, beating out the previous record holder of November 2016.

Digital traffic increased by 31% compared to last year. Metro.us delivers over 1.1 million users a month.

metro’s readership continues to grow and our digital audience is increasing right along with it. January 2017 delivered a new record high for online traffic with 1.16 million monthly users. The elevated digital audience is in part thanks to the expanding readership of metro’s print editions.

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