Media in Baltimore


Baltimore 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, 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. Baltimore is the 24th largest television market and 21st largest radio market in the country.
