Portland, Manchester and Burlington would qualify as medium markets.

Albany, Hartford = medium markets.

Burlington, Manchvegas, Portland (all smaller than #100) = small markets.

Sure, based on state population, they are all 100+ markets.

Burlington, Manchester and Portland are the largest cities in their respective states.

They are all home for the major players in radio, tv, newspaper and adverstising agencies.
Also, minor league baseball, hockey and concert venues in Portland and Manchester.

Yes, they are all small states, but you can't equate these cities with the much smaller markets in VT/NH and Maine.

Heck, most folks in Franklin, N.H. think going to the big city is a trip to Manchester! ;D

Yeah, they are the biggest cities in their respective states, but for the purpose of this discussion, they are small markets and PAY as such. Just because the major players own in those markets, they are not treated on the same level as their brethren in larger markets. Also, being home to concert venues, minor league tems, etc. means nothing...just a few more amenities to the people who live in said cities.

To the original poster, I have lived in some smaller markets outside of New England and while the pay may be comparable, the cost of living can be a lot less. If you are looking to live comfortable and grow as, say, a morning show host, consider living outside of the North East while honing your skills (unless you're ready to move to a medium or large market now). Good luck!!
