What is Media Market

A market, also known as a media market, broadcast market, media region, designated market area (DMA), television market area, or simply market, is a region in which the population has access to the same (or comparable) television and radio station offerings. Markets may also include other forms of media, such as newspapers and content from the internet. It is possible for them to correspond with or overlap with one or more metropolitan areas; however, rural regions that have a limited number of large population centers can also be recognized as markets. The opposite is also true: extremely big metropolitan areas can occasionally be divided into a number of different pieces. It is possible for market regions to overlap, which means that individuals who live on the periphery of one media market may be able to get information from other markets that are conveniently located nearby. These measurements are compiled in the United States by Nielsen Media Research, and they are utilized extensively in the process of audience measurement. Since the completion of its acquisition of Arbitron in September 2013, Nielsen has been doing audience measurements for both radio and television.
