I was under the impression that most local affiliates do not produce any content licensed by anyone else and just license content from other sources.

- Aloha 11y agoNo, local affiliates often produce between 20% and 80% of their programming.
- CapitalistCartr 11y agoOften true in commercial radio land, but not on NPR. Things are much more loosey-goosey there. Probably because of shoe-string budgets.
- palidanx 11y agoIn the Southern California market, we have two big NPR stations (KPCC and KCRW). Both stations actually produce a lot of their own radio shows, and supplement some nationally syndicated content. When I visited Oregon, I noticed most of the shows were nationally syndicated, and I suspect that might have to do with how much money they can get from their local regions.
