Baltimore, Maryland, is a major media market, even though the city is only a 45-minute drive northeast of Washington, D.C.
The city's primary daily newspaper, The Baltimore Sun, and other Baltimore-area affiliated newspapers are property of David Smith, executive chairman of Sinclair Broadcast Group, who owns more than 200 television stations, including Fox 45.[1] Baltimore is the 24th largest television market and 21st largest radio market in the country.[citation needed]
