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!

· 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.
