SMU is not in Dallas. It's in University Park...

No. It's all one market. I don't think you know how media markets work. No one observes a media market as a singular city within it. What your saying just doesn't make sense.

I'd love to know where you get this idea that a school like Boca Raton (FAU) is actually outside of the Miami media market. Separate city? Yes. Separate market? No.

LOL you don't even have that correct. Macon is its own DMA. 83 miles from Atlanta. It's not even remotely considered a part of Atlanta's DMA. Good grief.

I said by your logic. I know they are different markets, that was my point. Please read before commenting.

And yes a metro media market is different from the city market. The metro and city markets can overlap, but they are different markets.City markets are broken into different regions and KSU is not apart of the same region as GSU.

"Conversely, very large metropolitan areas can sometimes be subdivided into multiple segments."

"Markets are identified by the largest city, which is usually located in the center of the market region. However, geography and the fact that some metropolitan areas have large cities separated by some distance can make markets have unusual shapes and result in two, three, or more names being used to identify a single region"

Correct. It didn't say very large markets can be subdivided into segments. It said very large metropolitan areas can be subdivided into segments. Big difference.

It also says "a market is a region where the population can receive the same television and radio station offerings, and may also include other types of media such as newspapers and internet content.".....

.... meaning someone like FAU is in the same market as Miami. Different city? Yes. Different market? Nope.

Wikipedia was not the win you thought it was.

Y’all are citing Wikipedia… lol

Macon is *almost* double the distance from Atlanta that Boca is from Miami, Boca is absolutely a part of the Miami DMA.

If you think still believe Wiki is not a reliable source you have not been paying attention. It's still frowned upon for academic use, but is otherwise widely viewed favorably, rating as reliable as Encyclopedia Britannica(while being 90 times larger) according to studies.


Evidence suggests Wikipedia is accurate and reliable. When are we going to start taking it seriously?

Is Wikipedia as unreliable as you've been told? Experts suggest the opposite may be true
