A working document
Introduction: Stations in green are where Small Business School is currently on the air on PBS-member stations AND where PubTV receives data. The DMA number is linked to dynamic data for the episode currently airing.

Nielsen Media Research created the Designated Market Area (DMA) and compiles the TV household data based on population. More population figures are within the state pages (from FederalStats). There are 210 Nielsen markets.

Small Business School has also appeared within PEG programming, especially when requested by the state or city's Economic Development Commission and Workforce Initiative programs. Nielsen does not rate programming appearing on PEG (Public Access - Education - Government) channels on cable systems.
