The two strongest pulls in espnW's top 10 sit in entirely different content neighborhoods: SB Nation at 0.82 and Inside Higher Ed at 0.79, a sports media website and a higher-education news publisher — a pairing that defines the two-peak structure of this audience.
The shape is genuinely bifurcated. On one side, the sports cluster: SB Nation (0.82), Simone Biles (0.77), Stadium (0.72), and Rob Perez (0.72) anchor a set of sports websites, athletes, and sports journalists. On the other, a distinct higher-education and public-affairs cluster: Inside Higher Ed (0.79), The Chronicle of Higher Education (0.77), and 1A (0.72), a public-radio program. These two clusters don't overlap thematically — one is sports media, the other is academic and civic publishing — yet both describe the same audience shape.
The only fellow TV Channel in the top 10 is Stadium (0.72); espnW's own subcategory is otherwise absent from the set. The remaining neighbors include NBC Olympics (0.68) as a Sports Leagues entry and Ladies And Gentlemen, The Weekend (0.68) and Joel Embiid (0.68) rounding out the lower tier. Subcategory-wise, the top 10 spans Websites, News Publishers, Magazines, Athletes, TV Channels, Podcasts and Radio, Sports Leagues, Humor Memes and Satire, and Fast Casual Dining — an unusually wide spread that reflects the bridging character of the two-peak shape.
The espnW audience sits at the intersection of engaged sports media consumers and an educated, institutionally-oriented readership — two distinct communities whose audience compositions happen to converge here.
