Since January 24, 2022, when [[CBS]] affiliate [[WBKB-TV]] in [[Alpena, Michigan]] affiliated its DT2 subchannel with NBC, NBC is, to date, the only major network with an in-market affiliate in every [[media market|designated market area]] in the United States.<ref>{{Cite web|title=WBKB adds NBC|url=https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=59428&sid=d374315f0e4da91e96658b9c88acc88c|access-date=April 17, 2022|archive-date=July 18, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220718112627/https://mibuzzboard.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=59428&sid=c1349ad459a8b4fea10e882021a371e6|url-status=live}}</ref> Currently, [[New Jersey]] and [[Delaware]] are the only U.S. states where NBC does not have a locally licensed affiliate. New Jersey is served by New York City O&O WNBC-TV and Philadelphia O&O WCAU; New Jersey formerly had an in-state affiliate in [[Atlantic City, New Jersey|Atlantic City]]-based [[WMGM-TV]], which was affiliated with the network from 1955 to 2014. Delaware is served by Salisbury affiliate [[WRDE-LD]] and Philadelphia-based [[WCAU]]. NBC maintains affiliations with low-power stations in a few smaller markets, such as [[Binghamton, New York]] ([[WBGH-CD]]), [[Jackson, Tennessee]] ([[WNBJ-LD]]) and [[Juneau, Alaska]] ([[KATH-LD]]), that do not have enough full-power stations to support a standalone affiliate. In some markets, these stations also maintain digital simulcasts on a subchannel of a co-owned/co-managed full-power television station. Southern [[New Hampshire]] receives NBC programming via network-owned [[WBTS-CD]], licensed to serve [[Nashua, New Hampshire|Nashua]]; while nominally licensed as a low-power [[Class A television service|class A]] station, it transmits a full-power signal under a channel share with the [[WGBH Educational Foundation]] and its secondary Boston station [[WGBX-TV]] from [[Needham, Massachusetts]], and serves as the NBC station for the entire Boston market. Until 2019, NBC operated a low-powered station in Boston, WBTS-LD (now [[WYCN-LD]]), which aimed to serve as its station in that market while using a network of additional full-power stations to cover the market in full (including [[Merrimack, New Hampshire]]-licensed [[Telemundo]] station [[WNEU]], which transmitted WBTS on a second subchannel); NBC purchased the Nashua station (formerly WYCN-CD) in early 2018 after the FCC [[spectrum auction]], and in 2019 relocated WYCN-LD to Providence, Rhode Island to serve as a Telemundo station for that market. [[Tegna Inc.|Tegna Media]] is the largest operator of NBC stations in terms of overall market reach, owning or providing services to 20 NBC affiliates (including those in larger markets such as [[WXIA-TV|Atlanta]], [[KUSA (TV)|Denver]], [[KSDK|St. Louis]], [[KING-TV|Seattle]] and [[WKYC-TV|Cleveland]]); [[Gray Television]] is the largest operator of NBC stations by numerical total, owning 28 NBC-affiliated stations.
