With over 75% of readers switching to mobile, Greater Katy’s premier digital news hub hits a massive milestone.
The way West Houston stays informed has officially shifted. While traditional print newspapers sit unclaimed in driveways, Katy residents have moved their attention to real-time, on-the-go digital content.
According to our latest verified readership analytics, over 75% of local residents now access our community updates exclusively via mobile devices.
To meet this massive demand for instant access, we launched our next-generation platform: The Katy News Web App. Today, we are thrilled to officially announce that the platform has surpassed thousands of active local users tracking live community updates across Greater Katy.
