The top 10 splits into two distinct neighborhoods: a tight cluster of New York athletes and sports teams, and a secondary tier of sports media properties that bridges into the broader audience.
Curtis Granderson leads at 0.9573, the strongest pull in the set, followed closely by the New York Yankees at 0.9305. Noah Syndergaard (0.9264) and Aaron Judge (0.9165) round out the athlete neighbors, while New York Rangers and New York Mets (both 0.9182) and the New York Giants (0.8756) account for four of the ten slots as Sports Teams. Together, athletes and sports teams make up seven of the top 10 — a dense same-kind and same-market cluster. The second peak is sports media: Kay Show on YES (0.9244), Mets Booth (0.8929), and Morning Show with Boomer & Gio (0.8841) are all TV Shows or Podcasts and Radio properties oriented around New York sports coverage. No neighbor in the top 10 falls outside sports, sports teams, or sports media — the audience shape is defined entirely by the New York sports ecosystem, with the media properties forming a secondary band just below the athlete-and-team core.
This two-peak structure — players and teams at the top, broadcast and podcast coverage just behind — suggests an audience that follows New York sports both on the field and across the media that covers it.
