To a large extent, yes Some subtleties but mostly yes.

Though comparing say radio to TV markets for the Philly area the difference is nearly 2.5 million. Philly as an small area is sub segmented into multiple radio areas wheras the TV market includes many areas considered NYC by the census etc.

Yeah the TV counts households instead of population so I used the percentage

We have something like that too.

Half of Solano County is part of the Sacramento TV market, as is Stockton.

Santa Cruz is part of the Monterey TV market.

Lake and Mendocino counites aren't even part of the Bay Area CSA or any BA MSA but they are part of SFs media market.

Its interesting.

Some real fluctuation (odd fluctuation at that) going on here.

With Detroit, if SW Ontario was included in those numbers, it would probably be up there with Boston/San Francisco/DC.

Houston is too damn big to only have one Hip-Hop (97.9) and one classic R&B/Soul station (102.1). Will CBS Radio save us?
