==Media== {{Main|Media in Erie, Pennsylvania}} [[File:Erietimes2.jpg|thumb|right|The ''[[Erie Times-News]]'' headquarters office]] Erie is served by ''[[Erie Times-News]]'', the city's daily newspaper, and ''[[Erie Reader]]'', an alternative weekly newspaper. The [[Nielsen Company]] ranks Erie as 152 out of the 210 largest television markets in the United States, as of the 2019β2020 report.<ref>{{cite web |title=Local Television Market Universe Estimates |year=2018 |publisher=[[Nielsen Company]] |url=https://www.nielsen.com/content/dam/corporate/us/en/public%20factsheets/tv/2018-19-dma-ranker.pdf |access-date=February 15, 2019 |page=5}}</ref> The market is served by stations affiliated with major American networks, including [[WICU-TV]] 12 (NBC), [[WJET-TV]] 24 (ABC), [[WFXP]] 66 (FOX), [[WSEE-TV]] 35 (CBS), and [[WSEE-DT2]] 35.2 ([[The CW Television Network|CW]]). [[WQLN (TV)|WQLN]] 54 is a member station of [[PBS]] and also broadcasts toward [[London, Ontario]]. Cable companies available for Erie include Charter Spectrum, DirecTV, and Dish Network. Erie is served by several AM and FM radio stations based in the city, and dozens of other nearby station broadcasts can be heard. In August 2019, Erie was the subject of a television show, ''[[Undercover Billionaire]]'', from the Discovery Channel. In this show, a wealthy businessman, [[Glenn Stearns]], travels to Erie under a fake name, Glenn Bryant. He starts with $100, a cell phone, and an old pickup truck. He is then asked to make a business worth over $1 million in 90 days. If he fails, he has to put $1 million of his own money into the business. Stearns makes the now prosperous business of UnderDog BBQ. Although he only gets the company valuation of around $750,000, it is still a successful business to date. He gave everyone who helped his big roles in the company's future and also invested the $1 million he owed.
