The same weaknesses that Disney reports are true for ESPN. Mostly, their
content is available over platforms like satellite radio and the apps, not
to mention their website and cable channels. The big difference is that
Disney is targeted at children and if a demographic breakdown of listeners
was done I would bet there would be a large hump in the 5-15 range,
followed by a trough, and then a smaller hump in 25-40 for parents
listening. After age 45 the drop should be to the level of background
noise. For ESPN Radio the bulk of listeners would be over 45 years old.
