Summary:Nicknamed Rubber City, Cleveland and its local economy have long been centered on manufacturing and sports. Now, nearly $2 billion in development projects aims to transform some of the city's blighted areas and attract more people to the market. With the state of Ohio pivotal in the upcoming midterm elections, the local market this year expects to generate close to the $40 million-plus it earned during the 2004 presidential election. The spot television market overall declined 14.8% from $291.6 million in 2004 to $248.5 million in 2005. Fox Television Stations' owned-and-operated WJW-TV is the market's top biller, taking in an estimated $64.1 million in 2005. In cable, 67% of the market is wired for service, compared to the national average of 64% for the top 50 markets. The Plain Dealer in Cleveland is Northeast Ohio's largest daily newspaper. Owned by Newhouse's Advance Publications, the Plain Dealer has experienced similar circulation declines as other metro dailies around the country.
