ESPN Digital Media Sets Another Sports Category Record in October

Leading digital sports property produced most minutes spent ever: 8.2 billion; 2nd most unique visitors ever: 67.7 million; 24.4 million accessed ESPN content exclusively on smartphones and tablets.

ESPN Digital Media generated 8.2 billion minutes of usage in October -- the largest amount of time ever spent on a sports category property in one month -- across computers, smartphones and tablets, according to comScore Multi-Platform data. Also, ESPN reached 67.7 million unique visitors, the 2nd highest ever behind ESPN's record setting total for September. In addition, ESPN accounted for 34% of all sports category usage across digital platforms last month, more than the Nos. 2 and 3 sports properties combined (Yahoo! Sports-NBC Sports Network and NFL Internet Group).

ESPN has remained No. 1 in the sports category for average minute audience, share of category audience, total minutes of usage, total visits, and male unique visitors every month since comScore began releasing Multi-Platform data in September 2012.

· 36% of ESPN's unique users - 24.4 million people - exclusively accessed content on smartphones and tablets, and 47% of all time spent with ESPN digital content came from fans on mobile devices.

· The 120.6 minutes per user spent with ESPN digital properties (such as ESPN.com, WatchESPN and ScoreCenter) during October was more than any of the top 175 sports category entities.

· In the average minute throughout October, 182,952 people used ESPN digital properties on computers, smartphones and tablets. Among men 18-49 and men 25-54, ESPN was the 8th most-used digital property in the U.S.

Additional results from ESPN Research & Analytics:

· Users watched 346.2 million digital video clips on ESPN platforms in October, the second straight month in which ESPN had a record-high number of monthly starts. 79% of clips were viewed on computers, 14% on mobile devices and 6% on connected TVs.1

· Viewers spent 575.3 million minutes with WatchESPN and ESPN3 live and on-demand programming across all platforms, up 38% from last October.1

ESPN networks and ABC sports television content generated 8.8 million tweets in October, 10% of all TV-related activity during the month. ESPN itself was the 4th most-social TV network, with 1.4 million unique users sending 4.5 million tweets about ESPN content.2 Other key social media metrics:
