This system also serves parts of Waushara County (Green Bay DMA). In fact, it's based in Plainfield (Waushara County).
 
Vermont Telephone Company has cable offered in Rutland, Windsor, Bennington and Windham Counties
Rutland and Windsor are in the Burlington, VT DMA, Bennington is in the Albany DMA, Windham is in the Boston DMA

HOWEVER a few years ago Vermont got a law passed that Vermont cable and satellite subs regardless of DMA should get Vermont stations alongside their "assigned" DMA. But I see some descrepancies

HD stations carried
Boston ABC, NBC, FOX, ION, CW, PBS
Burlington CBS, NBC, ABC, FOX, CW, PBS and WNNE NBC Hartford, VT (satellite of Burlington NBC)

but it says in Windham County they dont get ABC or FOX Burlington and they are the only ones to get FOX Boston.
CBS Boston nor WSBK are carried at all (possibly a dispute..both are owned by CBS)

So I guess the post would be
Rutland and Windsor counties get Boston PBS, NBC, ABC, ION, CW alongside the Burlington locals
Windham County gets Burlington CBS, NBC (Burlington and satellite Hartford), CW, PBS alongside Boston locals. WBZ and WSBK are not carried
Bennington County gets no locals from its "assigned" market and get all the stations previously listed EXCEPT Fox Boston . The 2 towns that the system supports are border cities to other counties.

Comcast Bridgewater VT mainly serves Windsor County (Burlington-Plattsburgh DMA), but crosses into Londonderry in Windham County (Boston DMA) and Landgrove in Bennington County (Albany DMA). Boston's Big 3, WMUR and NHPTV are carried in HD alongside the Burlington locals. No Albany stations are carried.

Bright House in the Orlando market covers Polk County, which is part of the Tampa Bay TV market, so Polk County gets both Bay News 9 and News 13, what a good perk for Polk County. I have no idea however, where WFTV (Orlando) and WTVT (Tampa) are in Polk, because of BHN Orlando mixing with BHN Tampa Bay.

That is true that Brighthouse/Spectrum mixes in WFTV Orlando with the Tampa stations, Polk county being the largest county in Florida in area, ......does cover a lot of area and Davenport and the Four Points part of Polk county really identify more with Orlando than Tampa, job wise and shopping wise. Geography and convenience does not always match the official markets.

There's also a very small portion of extreme n.e. Hernando county that has the Webster zip code of 33597 and Brighthouse/Spectrum there carries the Orlando lineup of stations, but does broadcast WEDU channel 3 out of the Tampa market. (As does Brighthouse in southern Sumter county). Sumter county is not officially in the Orlando or Tampa markets.

Bright House's Orlando system also serves a small part of Polk County, particularly the village of Poinciana.

There's a separate Bright House system that serves most of Polk County, with WFTV the only Orlando station carried: http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tvlist...3801&setMyPreference=false&lineupId=FL09533:X

And a third Bright House system in Lake Wales that's, well, you get it. http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tvlist...3853&setMyPreference=false&lineupId=FL61943:-

Sumter County is in the Orlando DMA. You're thinking radio markets.

Thank you for the correction; should have double checked that, yes Sumter is not in the Orlando radio market; it's sort of an odd man out situation. Not sure if all or part of the Villages is in the Ocala/Gainesville radio market or not, since The Villages cover 3 counties, Lake, Sumter and Marion county.

So Sumter county in the Orlando TV DMA, does carry WEDU-Tampa, in a good portion of Sumter county as well as at least a portion of Lake County.

Despite Lake Wales being in Polk County, it doesn't have Bay News 9 or News 13.
