Olympics Help NBC Sports Jump In July's ComScore Rankings; Yahoo Sports Still No. 1

NBC Sports made a major Olympics-driven move during July in monthly comScore reach rankings of top U.S. sports online destinations, surging from 7th in June to 4th and more than doubling its number of unique visitors from the prior month to 24.14 million. Yahoo Sports again held its customary spot at the top of the list with 46.47 million uniques, while FoxSports.com on MSN continued its back-and-forth battle with ESPN, again moving up to the second slot with 36.3 million uniques. ESPN retained its usual large lead in consumption with an average of 87.9 minutes per visitor during the month. BleacherReport.com, acquired this week by Turner Sports and in 9th with a reach of 10.58 million uniques, is still listed separately as the reporting period predates the closing of the purchase.
