Typing "Springfield" doesn't give you credit for either of them. Other than that fix, it's a great quiz.

Quad Cities also doesn't seem to work.

Yeah, you have to enter the city name AND the state in order to get credit for either of the Springfields - same with Quad Cities. And considering that two of the quad cities are in Illinois, it seems especially unfair to do it that way. Since you can get credit for naming just one city in a metro area that includes multiple cities (for example, by entering just "Minneapolis" for Minneapolis-St. Paul), then you should also get credit for naming any of the quad cities.

San Antonio didn't work no matter how many times I retyped it. Will you please check that one to make sure you didn't accidentally include Texas as a requisite for a correct answer

Very nice quiz. As a Kentuckian, I was quite surprised to see Paducah on here. Very, very surprised.

Yeah, i just noticed the Quad Cities... And for some reason, I removed the state endings on the other double-staters like "Portland Maine/Oregon," but not on Springfield. Most of them, though, do have a couple alternate answers. Thanks for the comments, I'll fix the ones you've mentioned.

What did I type in to get credit for Fort Smith, Arkansas? It most certainly was not Fort Smith.

Well "Springfield", Missouri credits, but Illinois does not. I don't think that put the state in would be a viable solution. Great quiz !

@Kicking222 Fort Smith, Ark. is the official name for the DMA that includes Fayetteville. Since there's a station in Fayetteville, I made it an alternate response

Very nice! I'd kind of like to see the statistic that these are being ranked by (population? number of televisions? person-hours of television watched?) but I can't complain too much as your source doesn't actually give any of those things...
