network affiliate
Local broadcast partner
A network affiliate is a local television or radio station that has contracted with a major broadcast network to air its programming.
The affiliate carries the network's shows, news, and advertising while maintaining some local programming and identity.
The CBS affiliate in Denver interrupted the game for weather coverage.
Unlike owned-and-operated stations, affiliates are independently owned but bound by agreement to the parent network.
