The term is also generally accepted to refer to television programming that is not produced by a broadcast or other media source for national or international distribution ([[broadcast syndication]]). Usually programming of local interest is produced by either a [[Public, educational, and government access]] (PEG) television organization, [[cable TV]] operator or [[broadcast network]] [[affiliate]] stations that offer local [[radio news]] and [[television news]].

Additionally, itthe term is used in a more generic form within national program guide listings in publications such as the post-2006 format ''[[TV Guide]]'' or ''[[USA Today]]'' which only carry the default schedules of national networks, where the "local programming" designation replaces detailed listings for a local station that would be impossible to print in a national publication.
