About KIRO 7 News

KIRO 7 News is the YouTube channel of the KIRO 7 television newsroom in Seattle, covering Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, and Western Washington. The channel posts news packages, breaking news clips, and short-form Shorts on traffic, weather, public safety, politics, and local government. Recent uploads cover a wide range of events, from highway closures and apartment fires to ballot measures and a fatal shooting in Oregon.

The channel has about 66,000 subscribers and about 50 million lifetime views. The median video draws roughly 470 views, while the strongest clips reach six figures. Viewers are most likely local residents in Western Washington, though audience composition is estimated and not verified by platform data.

Brands seeking sponsored integrations should expect limited availability, since the channel is a newsroom and does not run brand deals as a creator does. Its cost-per-view for sponsored content would fall between $20 and $35 per 1,000 median views, or $150 to $250 per video at the minimum, which is well above typical paid ad CPMs of $10 to $30. It is better suited to public service or local awareness work than to a typical creator partnership.
