We give results on the strong connectivity for spaces of sparse random digraphs specified by degree sequence. A full characterization is provided, in probability, of the fan-in and fan-out of all vertices including the number of vertices with small ($o(n)$) and large ($cn$) fan-in or fan-out. We also give the size of the giant strongly connected component, if any, and the structure of the bow-tie digraph induced by the vertices with large fan-in or fan-out. Our results follow a direct analogy of the extinction probabilities of classical branching processes.
