As always, Birmingham tops the list despite being such a relatively small market in the United States.

Interesting 9/10 are SEC territory.


New Orleans is just a football town. Always one of the highest rated for the NFL as well.

No surprise Austin didn't make the list. Don't think we'll ever be a college football town.

Same, the Tulsa media market is quite a bit smaller than the others on this list at #61 (Birmingham is #40 for reference).
