Okay, so the two closest points to the border of incorporated Tampa and incorporated Orlando are 72 miles apart.  Going the speed the limit that would be 64 minutes.

Using the same logic and Google Maps, the closest point from Orlando to Melbourne is 52.7 miles and 46 minutes according to Google.

 

Proving once and for all that Melbourne is closer to Orlando than Tampa is.

I know you do.  These last three pages of discussions had to do with someone wanting to know why Melbourne was in the Orlando TV market instead of Tampa.  Or something like that...

I'm bored, here's some TV markets (didn't go much west and only stuff outside the "Power 5") of basically anyone left who may want to get lucky and move up someday:

(yes, I know some of these markets won't be totally captured by these teams, and some of these markets are already saturated with bigger state teams, but that's semantics for another post)

4. Philly - Temple

5. Dallas-Ft Worth (SMU-TCU)

10. Houston

13. Tampa-St Pete (USF)

19. Orlando-Daytona-Melbourne (UCF)

24. Charlotte, NC (Charlotte, some ECU fans say there is a large contingent there but probably wouldn't be counted towards their TV market)

30. Hartford-New Haven, CT (UCONN)

34. Cincinnati

37. San Antonio (UTSA)

38. WBP-Ft Pierce (northern ends of FAU territory, Miami-FTL is like #15 but is split with FIU and Miami obviously owns that coastline)

40. Birmingham (UAB)

43. Norfolk-Portsmouth-Newport News, VA (lots of ECU fans claim the southeastern portion for their fanbase, not sure how accurate)

48. Memphis

53. New Orleans (Tulane)

60. Mobile-Pensacola (USA, or UWF one day?)

61. Tulsa

62. Ft Myers-Naples (FGCU)

65. Charleston-Huntington, WV (Marshall)

91. Colorado Springs-Pueblo (Air Force)

98. El Paso (UTEP)

112. Boise

123. Lafayette, LA (UL-L)

163. Biloxi-Gulfport (kinda USM territory)

167. Hattiesburg (USM)

Louisville is #50, btw.

Why do they group Orlando with Melbourne and Daytona? They are farther away than Tampa is to Orlando. I lived in the Melbourne area for over two years and nobody gave a rat's butt about UCF football and we did not get Orlando TV.

They group Sarasota with Tampa. It's based on reach, not on football.

Melbourne gets Orlando TV. My parents live over there now.

Longhorns don't want to expand unless they get everything.
