of the nine largest media markets, five are in states that touch the atlantic ocean (i'm fudging and counting DC in this group cuz it'd qualify if it was in VA/MD). four of those 5 are in the northeast and atlanta is 9th. in fact, NY and Boston account for almost 9% of TV homes in America (accd'ing to Nielsen website, fwiw). if both teams are good (and since they tied with ANA for 2nd best record in the AL i'd say they were) then you'll here about 'em.
