Schuylkill County

Down in the Lehigh Valley area, both Allentown and Reading are within the Philadelphia Television market. Radio-wise, however, Philadelphia, Allentown, and Reading are all seperate radio markets.

Back up here in NE PA, I know Schuylkill County is considered the Scranton/WB Television market, but what is the radio market? Is that Scranton/WB, too? Schuylkill County's in kind of a grey area that sometimes confuses me.

Arbitron includes Columbia, Lackawanna, Luzerne, Monroe and Wyoming Counties in the Wilkes Barre-Scranton Metro Market.

What radio market is Schuylkill County in then?

Schuylkill County is NOT contained in any Arbitron METRO Market.

Reading Metro contains Berks County(only).

Philadelphia Metro contains Philadelphia, Berks, Delaware, and Chester, PA and Burlington, Camden and Glouster in NJ.

Allentown Bethlehem contains Northapmton, Lehigh and Carbon, PA and Warren, NJ.
 
According to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Arbitron book from 3 years ago that I'm looking at right now, Schuylkill County is in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton TSA (Total Survey Area), but it's not a "Metro" county. TSA is sampled in the Spring and Fall only.

So, unless Schuylkill has been deleted since 2002, it looks like Schuylkill County is in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton market.<P ID="signature">______________

At this point, we're lucky if we reach any of those areas... lightning struck the tower again, we're at reduced power. On top of that, the air conditioning in the studios is down.

This would be three times this year Mother Nature has screwed with us... we were off about five or six days in the winter because of ice storms and downed power lines. The second time, only four residences and the T102 tower were affected. Oy.

You are not the only one. The engineers have spent this past weekend visiting mountaintop transmitter sites. Mother Nature, it appears, shared with others, too.
