Best market close to Philly?

Hello guys!

Does anybody know which is a better market when it comes to revenue $$$? South Jersey “Atlantic city cape may” or Lehigh Valley “Reading Allentown"?

Thanks guys!
 
Reading and Lehigh Valley are considered separate radio markets.

Revenue figures are available from BIA/Kelsey
 
@ Jay1986 :

Revenue as in what form?
Sales commissions?
Per capita household income?
Combined billing for all market stations?
Inlfuence?
Other ?

Just from a casual, no-horses-in-this-race observation, I'd opt for Allentown-Bethlehem. Vis-a-vis radio, the Arbitrons would show the local stations being represented quite well, plus signals from New York and Philadelhia making the list.
And their little airport is cool, too :- )

(I had moved up this way from Philadelphia myself, Jay, for economic, professional and personal reasons, 20 years ago. Neither Atlantic City nor Reading had any appeal for me).

So much depends on your definition of revenue and how you'd apply it to your occupation and lifestyle, though. If there is a pot of gold to be unearthed in any of those places .....

Well, a thimble of gold .....

My cherce would be metro Allentown.
