regional broadcast

Area-limited TV signal

A regional broadcast is a television or radio transmission intended for a specific geographic area rather than the entire country.

Networks often cut away from national programming for regional broadcasts of local sports, news, or weather: The game is only available as a regional broadcast in the home market.
