Would the moderator consider having a joint Boston radio-TV site.

Noticed that many people read and post on the Boston radio site but few either post or read on the Boston-Manchester TV site.

Cannot understand why one of the major TV markets in the country is link with a Manchester, New Hampshire market.

Apples and Oranges.

Think the Boston Radio market and the Boston TV market have much in common.

The rank firing of Don Orsillo from the Red Sox TV Broadcast Booth when Joe Castiglione's Red Sox Radio Booth is on the other side of the plexi-glass should have been a joint topic of discussion.

Does NESN have any financial interest in the discussion board? Don't think so but asking.

Thanks,
Omnibus

Radio and Television are quite different. That is why we have two forums for Boston ... Radio and TV.
As for Manchester, it's part of the Boston TV DMA. This is a link to the official Nielsen markets:

Understand, but the Boston Radio and TV Markets are quite intertwined and cross-overs are common. Still think the two could work together as one. ;-)

I donʼt mind having separate radio-TV forums (though I wouldnʼt object to a single, all‐encompassing media forum for Boston, or even eastern Mass and RI), but three different forums covering Boston (Boston-Manchester TV, New England TV and Massachusetts TV) is a bit much (MA TV only has one thread, from 2005!). Other than CT (which only has five threads), the New England “States” are pretty much dead in the water.
I would suggest merging “Boston-Manchester TV”, “New England TV”, “Massachusetts TV” and the other New England TV “States” into a single “New England States TV”.

Many of the "Television States" forums are new. I created them about three months ago. Some (as the Texas TV forum) have been here for many years.
The New England TV forum, like the Texas TV forum has been here for years. Because of that, it contains many threads. At this time, I haven't decided whether those posts should be moved to their respective State TV forums or just left where they are.
Many of you will remember when "Canada" was a single radio forum. I created Canadian Province sub-forums and moved thousands of threads into the new forums. That seems to have worked out pretty well.
