Puerto Rico, which we should count as a U.S. market, since it's considered the 14th largest U.S. radio market, has no NBC or CBS station. The number of people who speak English at home is very small. But there are plenty of tourists watching the main U.S. networks. And about a third of Puerto Ricans are fluent enough in English to tune in some shows on the U.S. networks that are not being subtitled or dubbed on the local Spanish channels.
ABC is on a low power station in San Juan that carries much of WABC's programming, including some of its newscasts and commercials, along with some infomercials, sometimes in Spanish. Fox is also on a low power station, although I'm not sure what city it is licensed to. There's no local or national news. I'm not sure if it even carries Fox News Sunday, the Sunday morning political talk show. The Fox station also runs some infomercials in Spanish.
CBS is from the nearby U.S. Virgin Islands, calling itself "CBS Caribbean" since it serves both U.S. territories or commonwealths. It carries only CBS Network news with no local news. All programming is in English.
And NBC is only available on cable or satellite. This is odd since at one time, NBC owned WKAQ-TV Channel 2 San Juan, a Telemundo affiliate. WKAQ-DT has several subchannels but NBC is not one of them. (Puerto Rico switched over to all digitial TV the same time as the mainland.) The San Juan cable system runs WNBC New York, including its local newscasts and commercials.
