ABC News Market Coverage String
Ok all. Do we have a Dr. in the house that can draft a short letter of introduction to this video and why they (and their viewers) should care about this story that we can use to accompany the link to the various ABC News affiliated around the country? While we are waiting for that, here is a list of the top 32 media markets in the country that would be great if we could contact and get this story televised as well as picked up by their sister radio stations.

Because Salt Lake has already been covered we have 50 to go. I will take Seattle-Tacoma (#13). Please reply if you are willing to take on the task to contact any of the above and which market(s) you will sign up for. If no one signs up for Portland, OR (#22) I can take that one as well. Maybe take a look at this thread before responding in order to see if a certain market has been spoken for prior to replying. Based upon this final item, only reply to this string if you are offering to cover a market or write the intro letter so that this string stays concentrated on this task.
