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.


My mistake... Still, the stations located in smaller cities should be
found inside one of the larger market area PDFs.


They are.
