local affiliates
Area franchise stations
Local affiliates are regional broadcast stations that have agreements with major television or radio networks to air their programming.
The network provides national content—news, prime-time shows, sports—while the affiliate produces local news and sells local advertising.
The President's address will air on NBC and its local affiliates.
The term appears most often in announcements about where to watch or listen to something.
