This looks like a useful thing, until you look at the choices. They are

You might want to look a little closer. The FCC follows the standard MSA
convention - that is Metropolitan Statistical Area. If you find the
nearest MSA and look inside, you should find your "local" stations.

No, as the page says, those are the FCC's (214) designated market areas -
210 of which correspond to Nielsen's market areas plus 4 (offshore) added
by the FCC. The U.S has 363 MSAs.
