The cities of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Newport News, Virginia serve to anchor the Hampton Roads metropolitan area, the 43rd largest DMA in the nation. Located on opposing shores of a large natural harbor connected with the Chesapeake Bay, the area provides plenty of urban and natural backdrops for filming locations. Several production companies make their home in this area, and a significant number of movies, TV shows, and documentaries do location filming in and around the Norfolk-Portsmouth-Newport News area. A few of these films include Gold Diggers: The Secret of Bear Mountain, Navy Seals, Atlantis Down, and The Bill Collector, to name a few. TV production is no stranger to this area, either; episodes of Cops, WWF Raw, and Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives have been shot here, among others.
