1. Lafayette, IN
2. Zanesville, OH
3. Springfield, MA
4. Alpena, MI

But that's measured by population (or, more correctly, number of households with TV), not physical land area, which is what we're talking about here. The North Platte NE and Glendive MT markets are larger in land area than San Diego and aren't much smaller than Philadelphia.

I misunderstood the post...my bad.
So I looked at the map again, and it's obvious to me that, with a few exceptions, most of the geographically small markets would be east of the Mississippi.
