Something to watch out for...

[Kevin Vahey]

The latest Neilsen DMA numbers
(households)
6 San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose
2,476,450

7 Boston-Worcester-Manchester
2,409,080

TV population is higher in Boston over radio as Worcester and
Manchester are included for DMA numbers.

NBC does own #5 Dallas so Boston is the largest market they do not own.

When WBZ-TV switched to CBS NBC looked into the possibly of making
WJAR the affiliate for Boston but found out the FCC would not go along
as Providence is a separate DMA.

The owner of Sunbeam has said his family has no interest in staying in
the business and given how FOX and NBC do not own in Miami ad Boston
it should be an easy sell even given the current economy.

KNTV has its master control at NBC Burbank.
