Yahoo-NBC Sports Retains Top Spot In April ComScore Traffic Rankings

The Yahoo Sports-NBC Sports digital alliance retained its top position in comScore traffic reports for April, ranking first in Media Metrix Multi-Platform rankings among U.S. sports sites. But the rest of the list showed continued changes in the new reach metrics blending online, digital video and mobile measurement data. The newly formed entity of Sporting News Media, a joint venture between Perform Sports and American City Business Journals (parent company of SportsBusiness Journal and The Daily), ranked fifth with 30.7 million unique visitors during the month. Perform also appears in the ninth slot by itself, but that was deemed to be an erroneous, remnant ranking based on incomplete data. MLB, fueled in part by its record-setting download pace for its MLB.com At Bat mobile application and the beginning of the '13 regular season, surged from 17.6 million uniques and ninth place in March to 28.8 million uniques and sixth place in April. ESPN, as has been customary, held a dominant lead in consumption metrics, posting an average of 101.9 million minutes per user during the month, far above the 42.9 minutes per user for Yahoo and 22.5 minutes per user for Fox.
