If you're talking a market where not all of the "major" networks have affiliates, then definitely. One market over from mine is tiny Alpena, formerly the smallest DMA in the country; there's only a CBS affiliate there, while the ABC, NBC and FOX affils in the bordering markets don't officially reach there (though they come in on cable & satellite). I looked at the list of DMA's linked on Wikipedia (http://www.tvjobs.com/cgi-bin/markets/market2.cgi), and the bottom three (Alpena, North Platte, NE and Glendive, MT) each only have one local station. North Platte's is an NBC affiliate, while Glendive's KXGN-TV is a CBS affiliate. Interesting tidbit: up until September 2009, KXGN was the only station in the country still broadcasting programs from two major networks; they ran the CBS schedule in its regular slot, then afterward would run NBC programs (billed on their website as the "Best of NBC"...insert your own joke here.) -- -- Ben Scripps [email protected] -- TV or Not TV ....
