Greater Cleveland is currently the 35th largest radio market in the United States, as ranked by Nielsen Media Research. While most stations originate in Cleveland proper, this list includes stations licensed within the counties of Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, Lake and Geauga that define the market. Stations licensed to Akron but which are specifically marketed to the Cleveland region are also included (Nielsen recognizes Akron and Canton as separate markets).
