Television Markets

Just in case your were wondering, here is a list of the market sizes throughout the US. Seems like pretty soon there will be a market for every city in every state. I remember when Victoria, TX. was the smallest market in the US.

Ever wanted to know who owns a station or who the GM is? Ever wanted to know what the address of the station is? Then just click the market size you want and you can find out.
