regional radio

Area-specific audio programming

Regional radio refers to broadcast stations serving a specific geographic area larger than a single city but smaller than a nation—a state, province, or cluster of counties.

These stations typically feature local news, weather, and programming tailored to their coverage area: The storm warning came through on regional radio before the national networks picked it up.
