You get three ABCs, three NBCs, three CBSs and two PBS stations. But only one Independent, WTOG St. Petersburg.

Interesting that Ocala-Gainesville is currently the #87 radio market. But it must import TV signals from adjacent markets, except for the University of Florida WUFT Gainesville PBS station.
