CircleSeven 1944 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Nielsen releases its new 2015-2016 DMA Numbers. And they're changes in the top 10. Washington D.C. is now at DMA #7, bumping Boston. Outside the Top 10, Tampa bumps Phoenix in DMA #11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ns8401 846 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Ouch. Detroit moved from 12 down to 13. 2 spots down in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidwestTV 1173 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Looks like Kansas City moved down a couple spots to 33 from 31 last year. We fluctuate between 31 and 33 but lately it seems like our numbers have been trending down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breaking News 802 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Columbus, OH now at #31 and it been said it poised to be in the top 30. WOW!!! Tampa/St. Pete at #11 and Cleveland moved up a tick. Again WOW!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 15 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 By some miracle, St. Louis has remained 21st, despite having relatively flat growth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Charlotte also spiked up to #22 leaping ahead of Pittsburgh... The sad thing is that Detroit now ranks what Cleveland ranked 20 years ago.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oklahomanewsman 210 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 OKC at 43. Not bad at all. Tulsa at 60 not too bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mre29 1340 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder if Washington and Boston swapped places by Washington growing or by Boston shrinking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oklahomanewsman 210 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder if Washington and Boston swapped places by Washington growing or by Boston shrinking... And I also wonder if OKC's growth in population would translate into a rise in the DMA rankings? I could see OKC at 40 or 41 in a few years.

mike91 66 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Charlotte is growing like crazy, I would not be surprised if we made it into the top 20 in a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kruejac 9 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Milwaukee is at #35 which is still a decent-size market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oklahomanewsman 210 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 was the growth in the DMA size for the Charlotte market a factor as to why Fox purchased WJZY/WMYT besides the Panthers being in the NFC? (which Fox has rights to) Just curious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(which Fox has rights to) Just curious Certainly Charlotte is an attractive market for its growth. That said, Capital Broadcasting basically sold off WJZY/WMYT in order to protect WRAZ in Raleigh.

That said, Capital Broadcasting basically sold off WJZY/WMYT in order to protect WRAZ in Raleigh. That was another factor too. I just thought that Charlotte's growth combined with the Panthers being in the NFC (which Fox has rights to) is what made Fox enter the Charlotte market.

mardek1995 200 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I wonder if Fox will try and get back into St Louis or Milwaukee at some point...Fox getting back into St Louis? Probably not since there is a possibility (and I hope it does happen) that the Rams will move back into LA. I also doubt that they'll get back into Milwaukee unless for whatever reason Tribune is going to buy another station, but had to sell WITI to relieve them from the ownership cap if it got in the way. Also, if DFW ends up growing into a DMA #4 (which it might within 5 years), then Tegna may want to sell WFAA (presumably to ABC) either by itself or via trade deal between said station and WPVI.

NEOMatrix 1295 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Also, if DFW ends up growing into a DMA #4 (which it might within 5 years), then Tegna may want to sell WFAA (presumably to ABC) either by itself or via trade deal between said station and WPVI. Why would ABC even need to sell WPVI? It's practically the strongest ABC O&O in the country. Plus, ABC (and CBS and NBC) have been pretty silent in the M&A Craze and I doubt they'll stir up anything anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 By some miracle, St. Louis has remained 21st, despite having relatively flat growth. Might be the last year though, I don't see how Charlotte won't leap frog over St. Louis next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rkolsen 1678 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I believe news Emmys (at least The National Capitol Chesapeake Bay Chapters) says that DMAS #1-50 fall into the large market category, #51-100 medium market and #101-210 are small markets. So congratulations are in order as most of us live in a large market. Baltimore stayed at #26 but grew about 7,000 homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRob 920 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That's interesting we dropped about 25,000 homes in Kansas City. I wonder, since K.C. is a Google Fiber city, and an AT&T Gigabit city, if some people have dumped standard television altogether in favor of pure streaming entertainment.

PelicanGuy 117 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 I guess not enough people have moved back to New Orleans metro...still #51. I still have hope they'll be back in the top 50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3464 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 As always, I wonder if changing geography has had an effect on the rise or fall of a dma ranking. Fringe counties trading markets can have an effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardek1995 200 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Ouch. Detroit moved from 12 down to 13. 2 spots down in 2 years.The fact that people are moving out of Detroit proper, and to a lesser extent, leaving the Detroit DMA might have something to do with that.
