With the cross-national [[consolidation of media ownership|consolidation]] of Canadian media ownership in the 1990s and 2000s, network-affiliated stations now rarely produce much more than their own local or regional newscasts, although some stations may continue to produce a small amount of additional local programming. Independent stations may produce more local programming, although such stations are now rare in the Canadian media landscape.

In radio, virtually all Canadian commercial radio stations are officially programmed locally, although many stations cut costs by contracting some dayparts out to [[voice-tracking|voice-tracked]] hosts who are not actually located in the station's physical studio or even necessarily in the same city, using a [[home studio]], and may even be performing their show from the United States. The [[CBC Radio One]], [[CBC Radio 2]], [[Ici Radio-Canada Première]] and [[Ici Musique]] networks consist primarily of networked national programming, although all include [[CBC Radio One local programming|some degree of local programming]] in certain time blocks. Radio One and Première stations have a significant number of production centres which create and air their own local morning and/or afternoon talk shows, while Radio 2's and Ici Musique's local content is limited to local news and weather updates.
