Florida is a great place to have a "media farm" such as the one proposed under the name, the Center for Media Innovation and Research (CIMR).

It has several big cities, notably Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Orlando and Jacksonville. So it can support many, different BIG MEDIA enterprises. But it has, as well, many medium sized cities. And endless smaller ones. It has urban areas that don't event have names or boundaries, such as the Interstate-4 corridor through northern Polk County.
