ESPN Digital Media Remains No. 1 Across Platforms in July

For the 11th straight month since Multi-Platform measurement began, ESPN maintains top spot;

ESPN's 91 minutes per user is more than all top 200 sports properties;

15 million sports fans exclusively use ESPN digital on smartphones and tablets

ESPN Digital Media accounted for 28% of all sports category usage across digital platforms in July, nearly twice the average minute audience of No. 2 Yahoo! Sports-NBC Sports Network, and nearly more than the Nos. 2 and 3 sports properties combined, according to comScore's Multi-Platform data.

ESPN has been No. 1 in the sports category in average minute audience, total minutes of usage and total visits every month since comScore began releasing Multi-Platform data in September 2012. Other results from the July comScore Multi-Platform report:

· In total, ESPN digital properties attracted 46.8 million unique visitors, logging 4.3 billion minutes of usage and 558.3 million visits.

· While the Yahoo! Sports-NBC Sports Network aggregated property reached +12% more unique visitors in July -- "unique visitors" include anyone who visits a property as little as once during a month -- ESPN reached +86% more people per minute during the month. This is due to ESPN's vast advantage in time spent per user (90.8 minutes vs. 43.4 minutes).

· 32% of ESPN's unique users -- 15.0 million people -- exclusively accessed content on smartphones and tablets, and 45% of all time spent with ESPN digital content came from mobile device users.

· 95,263 people used ESPN digital properties on computers, smartphones and tablets in the average minute throughout July. Among men 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54, ESPN was the 9th most-used digital property in the U.S.

· ESPN was the No. 1 digital sports property for unique visitors across all male demographics in July, leading No. 2 Yahoo! Sports-NBC Sports Network by +24% among men 18-34 and +12% among men 18-49.

Additional results from ESPN Research & Analytics:

· Users watched 251 million ESPN digital video clips. 73% were viewed on computers, 16% on mobile devices and 10% on YouTube.1

· Viewers spent 476 million minutes with WatchESPN and ESPN3 live and on-demand programming across all platforms.1

· ESPN sent 2.8 billion alerts to 27 million people in July, up 71% from a year ago.

· ESPN ended July with 8.9 million Facebook fans, while the SportsCenter Facebook page totaled 7.1 million fans.3
