Three former athletes — Randy Moss, Cris Carter, and Cris Collinsworth — sit inside CBS Sports HQ's top 10 nearest neighbors, making athletes the single most common subcategory in the set despite CBS Sports HQ being a TV channel itself.
The shape is broad: similarity scores descend gradually from 0.78 down to 0.66, with no single neighbor pulling far ahead of the rest. CBS Sports leads at 0.78 and NBC Sports follows at 0.74 — the only two fellow TV channels in the top 10. After them, the neighbor set fans out across subcategories: FanDuel (Sports brand, 0.72) and BetMGM (Entertainment Platforms, 0.66) represent the sports-wagering space, while ESPN Radio (0.70) and Sporting News (0.67) add a radio and news-publishing presence. NCAA March Madness rounds out the set at 0.67 as the lone TV show. The cross-kind composition — athletes, wagering brands, a radio property, a news publisher, and a tournament franchise alongside two rival TV channels — points to an audience defined less by loyalty to a single broadcast format and more by broad, multi-platform sports consumption.
The broad shape here reflects an audience that moves fluidly across sports media formats rather than clustering tightly around any one of them.
