Taking the 5th

By ED BARK
As expected, Dallas-Fort Worth has climbed another rung on the TV market ladder and now trails only the major megalopolises of New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and Philadelphia.

D-FW, boasting 2,435,600 TV homes according to new measurements from Nielsen Media Research, moved into fifth place ahead of the slumping San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose area. (Note: this new number now will be used in all future "Local Nielsen ratings snapshot" reports on unclebarky.com.)

Nielsen also says that Houston remained in the No. 10 spot while San Antonio stays at 37th. But Austin moved up a notch to 51st.

Philadelphia will be out of reach for quite a while. Its 2,939,950 TV homes give it slightly more than a half-million lead over D-FW, which gained 56,940 homes in the past year.
