Craig made this comment: "Nope. The number of stations is irrelevant. It is the
number of homes that these stations reach that establishes the national cap.
... Fox may have more station in smaller markets but they are NOT over the cap."
The "irrelevant" number was 10 O&Os for ABC and NBC, compared with 25 for Fox
(on and before 2007, when they sold off a few).
So does Fox only cover small markets? It looks like no. As I said beofre, they
cover the SAME large markets, by and large.

Fox O&O 10 biggest markets:

Dallas-Fort Worth - KDFW 4
Boston - WFXT 25
Washington, D.C. - WTTG 5
Atlanta - WAGA 5
Houston - KRIV 26

ABC O&O markets total:
New York City - WABC-TV 7
Los Angeles - KABC-TV 7
Chicago - WLS-TV 7
Philadelphia - WPVI-TV 6
San Francisco Bay Area - KGO-TV 7
Houston - KTRK-TV 13

Fresno - KFSN-TV 30
Flint - WJRT-TV 12
Toledo - WTVG 13
Sorry, no way are the bottom six listed for Fox smaller markets than the bottom
six listed for ABC. So if Fox, with 25, is close to the 39 percent limit, no
way can NBC and ABC also be close. If ABC was ever close to the limit, it must
have sold off a lot of O&Os before 2007.
