Each market's ADI consists of all the counties in which the home market stations receive a preponderance of viewing, and every county in the continental U.S. is allocated exclusively to one AD I-there is no overlap. The total of all ADI's represents the total television households in the U.S. The ADI is a standard market definition. As a television buying tool it is a geographical and demographic means for maximum efficiency. As a station tool it is a geographic and demographic means for maximum efficiency. As a station tool it has applications for sales, programming and promotion planning. Following, in alphabetical order, are Arbitron's 210 ADI markets for 1991-1992 with coverage maps for each, and county by county breakouts of TV households. Other data includes the markets' stations, their cities of license, channel numbers and network affiliations. Coverage maps show total survey areas in light shading, the ADI's themselves outlined in black, and Arbitron Metro raling areas in white. The survey areas consist of all counties in which the home market stations are viewed to a significant extent, including via cable. The Metro Areas usually conform to U.S. Census Standard Metropolitan statistical areas. Non-ADI markets do not meet Arbitron's criteria for having an ADI of their own, they are listed with the ADI of which they are a part. A cross reference list of cities in Multi-City ADI's appears on E-94 and a listing of the Non-ADI markets appears on E·95. Abilene-Sweetwater, Tex.

I am also the General Manager of station WTWS. I am sUbmitting this declaration in support of a Petition for Rulemaking seeking to add New London to the market designation for the Hartford-New Haven-New Britain-Waterbury major television market designation (referred to hereafter as the "Hartford-New Haven market") set forth in section 76.51 of the FCC's rules. As reflected in Attachments Band C of this Petition for Rulemaking, WTWS places a Grade B signal over Hartford, New Haven, New Britain and Waterbury and over most of the Hartford-New Haven Arbitron ADI market. Moreover, as also shown in those reference sources, commercial television stations WFSB, Hartford; WTIC-TV, Hartford; WTNH-TV, New Haven; WTXX, Waterbury; and WVIT, New Britain, all place at least a Grade B signal over New London. The Hartford-New Haven edition of TV Guide, a copy of which is included as Exhibit No.1, includes WTWS in its listings. Arbitron Rating Service ("Arbitron") considers New London to be a portion of the Hartford-New Haven ADI market. See Exhibit No. - 2 - 2 hereto, a copy of a January 1990 agreement with Arbitron, reflecting that WTWS is in the "Hartford-New Haven" Arbitron television survey area. Moreover, the A.C. Nielsen Company ("Nielsen"), another major rating service, considers WTWS to be within the "Hartford-New Haven" television market, as reflected in the March 1990 service agreement between R & R and Nielsen attached hereto as Exhibit No.3. Program suppliers such as Orion Television Entertainment, Republic Pictures Corporation and others also treat WTWS as if it were located within, variously, the "Hartford", "Hartford-New Haven", "Hartford/New London", or "Hartford-New Haven (New London) " television market, as evidenced by the redacted agreements attached hereto as Exhibit No.4. Similarly, advertising companies such as Young & RUbicam, Inc., Mintz & Hoke, Broadcast Buying services, Inc., and Williams Television Time also consider WTWS to be part of the "Hartford" or the "Hartford-New Haven" market. WTWS' programming also reflects the fact that the station serves viewers not only in the New London area of the market, but also in the Hartford-New Haven areas of the market. For example, "Speak Out Southern New England", a monthly live one-hour pUblic affairs telephone call-in program broadcast by WTWS, has included as guests local leaders, commentators or experts from the Hartford - 3 - area. Furthermore, a WTWS weekly one-hour sports call-in program, "Press BOx," has included on its panels newspaper sportswriters Terry Price of The Hartford Courant and Dave Solomon of The New Haven Register. Also, beginning in January 1993, WTWS will begin broadcasting, at 10:00 p.m., the 6:00 p.m. local weeknight newscast of New Haven television station WTNH, demonstrating that the New Haven station covers news of interest to New London viewers, as well as viewers throughout other parts of the Hartford-New Haven market, just as WTWS aims programming at Hartford-New Haven area viewers in the market. While WTWS is in competition with the other television stations located in the Hartford-New Haven market, it is economi cally disadvantaged by the fact it is considered to be a "distant" signal for cable copyright purposes by Hartford and New Haven area cable systems. Thus, WTWS is not being carried by several cable systems located in the Hartford-New Haven market and within the WTWS Grade B contour, including the Heritage cable system serving the Guilford area; the Sammons cable system serving the Waterbury area; the Storer system serving the New Haven area; the Dimension system serving the Meriden area; the Telemedia system serving the Seymour area; and the Continental system serving the Enfield area. All of those systems have refused WTWS carriage because of the - 4 - costs associated with carrying WTWS as a "distant signal". (The Continental system at one time carried WTWS, but recently dropped the station due to the copyright fees.) The fact New London is not included in the designation for the Hartford-New Haven market has caused WTWS financial hardship. The station, which commenced operations in 1986, has yet to experience an operating profit. Furthermore, in October 1991, the station had to cut back significantly on its staff in order to reduce losses. And, the station is having difficulties in meeting its current financial obligations. The Hartford-New Haven market already has experienced the loss of one independent station, WHCT-TV, Channel 18, Hartford, which went dark over 18 months ago. Furthermore, there is now pending before the Commission a proposal for independent station WTXX-TV, Waterbury, Connecticut, licensed to Channel 20 Licensee, Inc. (Renaissance Communications Corp.), to purchase another independent station in the market, WTIC-TV, Hartford, retain a Fox affiliation there, then spin-off WTXX-TV to be operated, in part, as an affiliate of the Home Shopping Network. See Exhibit No. 5 hereto. Failure to include New London in the Hartford-New Haven market would certainly result in WTWS also going dark. - 5 - Ge • Attachment E Exhibit No. 1 Portion of Hartford-New Haven Edition of "TV Guide" 1B.EVIIION GUIDE.
