The term '''Local Programme''', '''Local Programming''' or '''Local ProgrammingContent''' refers to a [[television programme]] made by a [[television station]] or independent producer for [[broadcast]] only within the station's transmission area or market. Local programmes can encompass the whole range of programme genres but will usually only cover subjects or people of particular interest to viewers within the station’s coverage area.

For example, a local sports programme will present results, interviews and coverage of games or matches, just like a network sports programme, but it would only feature teams and players from within the broadcaster's transmission area.
