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