BuzzFeed Sports Audience Graph • Social Signal

BuzzFeed Sports' nearest audiences are podcasters, comedians, and political media figures — not other sports publishers or news outlets in its own subcategory.

Similarity here measures how closely two entities' audience compositions resemble each other. Across the top 10 neighbors, scores run from 0.94 (Kelly Oxford) down to 0.93 (Ad Age), a band of just 0.01 — the defining feature of a flat shape with no single dominant pull. Kelly Oxford, a Lifestyle influencer, sits at the top (0.94), followed immediately by Crooked Media (0.94) and Pod Save America (0.94), both Podcasts and Radio. This American Life (0.94) and Serial (0.94) extend that podcast cluster further, while Jon Lovett (0.94), a Comedian, sits alongside them.

Tallying the top 10 by subcategory: four are Podcasts and Radio (Crooked Media, Pod Save America, This American Life, Serial), one is Lifestyle (Kelly Oxford), one is Comedians (Jon Lovett), one is Magazines (Adweek), one is Professionals (Jon Favreau), one is Politicians (Tommy Vietor), and one is Journalists (Ira Glass). No other News Publisher — BuzzFeed Sports' own subcategory — appears in the top 10. The podcast cluster, anchored by Crooked Media and Pod Save America, is the clearest structural signal, and the political-media thread running through Jon Favreau, Tommy Vietor, and Jon Lovett reinforces it.

The flat shape and cross-kind composition together suggest an audience defined less by sports content consumption than by a broader media-literate, podcast-and-commentary orientation.
