television station
Local news origin
A television station is a facility that broadcasts programming over the airwaves or through cable and satellite systems.
The term refers both to the physical operation—transmitters, studios, staff—and to the channel itself as viewers experience it: What station is the game on?
Local stations may be independent or affiliated with national networks.
