On Instagram, Channels TV maintained its dominance with 1.64 million subscribers, followed by ThePunch with 1.21 million. Arise News, Vanguard, and TheGuardian all posted respectable figures in the range of 462,000 to 472,000, while TVC News recorded 414,317.

At the lower end, NTA and Silverbird garnered 246,448 and 112,962 subscribers respectively, with AIT trailing at 85,244.
