Denver at 16 is not bad considering we have taken 3X Champions with the Broncos,Avalanche and Nuggets represent

It put the the population of NYC, not NYC metro area which is about 16,000,0000.

Garfield, this reference is more for marketers. Thus, TV households. Not population.

It is not population; it is households with a TV in that market.

The Top 20 Markets may as well be the Top 20 Worst Places to Live in America. No surprise to see the correlation, and it's no coincidence that the two most influential markets that everyone working in media are moving to (Austin and Nashville) don't make that list.

More ideological delusional garbage. Those major markets keep the US financially afloat. You should be grateful to your benefactors. And the idea that Austin and Nashville are the two most influential media markets that "everyone" in media are moving to is absurd. You wish. Maybe those working in media who don't care about having prestigious and affluent careers want to go to those markets instead of the big ones.

FAFO, "The Top 20 Worst Places to Live in America" (every single damn one of them run by democraps, 100%)
The Day Will Come ... you'll discover where your food and energy came from 'that kept you alive'.
When the inevitable break-up happens you and your destructive ilk will beg to re-assimilate. Me and my homies will turn away like we never knew you. Can we start now?

Dude, you think Nashville and Austin have higher population that NY and LA? Stop watching FANE NEWS.
