Although Baltimore is only a 45-minute drive northeast of Washington, D.C., it is a major media market in its own right. Its main newspaper, The Baltimore Sun, was sold by its Baltimore owners in 1986 to the Times Mirror Company,[1] which was bought by the Tribune Company in 2000.[2] Baltimore is the 24th largest television market and 21st largest radio market in the country.[citation needed]
