Could someone please explain why Washington is a "major" market and Atlanta is a "large" market?

I guess it's because Atlanta used to be #11. Now that it's in the top 10, I guess it will be major next year.

Also, I see that Bill Handel, whose weekend syndicated legal show is carried by WSB, won for Personality of the Year for his KFI morning show.

Exactly, I do believe that Atlanta would be considered A "MAJOR" market.

Thanks. Considering his personality it probably is pretty entertaining.
