They can either be standalone newscasts that run for at least a half-hour or short segments that air attached to national morning newscasts approximately 25 and 55 minutes past the hour. As not all stations are owned and operated by a television network, the graphics, branding, and studio designs of a station's newscasts often differ from the network they are affiliated with although in recent years, affiliates have made some form of on-air reference to their corresponding networks in the branding of their newscasts. In addition, the local news departments of stations also superimpose their on-screen digital clocks, thermometers, and (occasionally) local news tickers on graphics provided by networks during morning network newscasts. Some cable channels are dedicated to local news coverage. Examples of this include <a href="/wiki/NY1" title="NY1">NY1</a> in New York and <a href="/wiki/WJLA_24/7_News" title="WJLA 24/7 News">WJLA 24/7 News</a> (formerly NewsChannel 8) in the Washington, D.C. market. </p><p>In Canada, the commercial broadcasters such as CTV have regional morning newscasts. There is also a bloc in the late afternoon dedicated to regional news. </p><p>In the <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">United Kingdom</a>, most local news is provided on a local network station with similar branding and studio design to that of the national network news. Examples of this include the nationally networked <a href="/wiki/BBC_News" title="BBC News">BBC News</a> and its regional news services such as <a href="/wiki/BBC_North_West_Tonight" title="BBC North West Tonight">BBC North West Tonight</a> (on <a href="/wiki/BBC_North_West" title="BBC North West">BBC North West</a>) and <a href="/wiki/BBC_Newsline" title="BBC Newsline">BBC Newsline</a> (on <a href="/wiki/BBC_Northern_Ireland" title="BBC Northern Ireland">BBC Northern Ireland</a>); the nationally networked <a href="/wiki/ITV_News" title="ITV News">ITV News</a> and its regional stations including <a href="/wiki/ITV_Granada" title="ITV Granada">ITV Granada</a> and <a href="/wiki/UTV_(TV_channel)" title="UTV (TV channel)">UTV</a>. The long version of BBC and ITV's local news shows often air during the 18:00 hour on weekday evenings. STV, which simulcasts most of the ITV network's programs in Scotland, is not owned and operated by ITV but has its own branded newscast that broadcasts Scottish-centred news at the same time as ITV's regional news services. </p><p>In Australia, local news for regional areas outside of major metropolitan cities is usually produced by local affiliate stations of the major television networks. Local affiliates of television networks <a href="/wiki/Seven_Network" title="Seven Network">Seven</a> and <a href="/wiki/Nine_Network" title="Nine Network">Nine</a> produce a total of twenty-six news bulletins across Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania, the Australian Capital Territory, and Western Australia. Each bulletin is half an hour long, and stories for the bulletin are usually produced from a local newsroom in a region, before being sent to a central broadcast studio for transmission, with one bulletin usually airing live. Seven uses studios in Maroochydore, Surfers Paradise, Canberra, and Bunbury for bulletins in Queensland, the Gold Coast, New South Wales/Victoria, and Western Australia respectively, whereas Nine's local affiliate <a href="/wiki/WIN_Television" title="WIN Television">WIN</a> uses two broadcast centers in Wollongong and Maroochydore for its news bulletins. Each market also receives either a shortened edition of the nearest metropolitan bulletin or an in-house produced national news bulletin. </p><p>In France, most local news is aired on France Television's <a href="/wiki/France_3" title="France 3">France 3</a>. Additionally BFM TV also has a local news channel for the Ile-de-France region called BFM Paris. </p><p>In Germany, each regional public broadcaster shows a half-hour's worth of regional news at 19:30 Central European Time on channel 3. </p><p>Norway's public broadcaster, <a href="/wiki/NRK1" title="NRK1">NRK1</a>, airs a local news program called NRK Distriktsnyheter (name of the viewing area) every weekday evening at 18:45 Central European Time, just before the main national newscast Dagsrevyen. A replay of all local newscasts across the country is shown on NRK2 the following morning (Tuesday to Saturday). </p><p>Finland's public broadcaster (YLE) airs an eight-minute-long regional news bulletin at 18:21 Eastern European Time every weeknight on YLE1. The bulletins from all regions are replayed across the country the following day starting from 10:50 to 12:10 Eastern European Time on YLE1. </p><p>In Sweden, SVT's regional news is simply called SVT Nyheter (name of the viewing area) which shares the same branding as the network's main newscast, Rapport. Unlike SVT's counterparts in the US and UK, during morning programs, the local news opt-out airs in the middle of each half-hour. Since June 2017, the morning regional cut-ins no longer feature an in-studio presenter but instead show compiled short reports from various correspondents across the region. When SVT World was still airing, the simulcast of the morning program featured a different regional opt-out during each half-hour. A 13-minute standalone local newscast airs at 18:30 Central European Time each weekday evening after Sportnytt (SVT's sports news) on SVT1. Additionally, a short local news segment is incorporated into SVT's other evening newscast Aktuellt which airs on SVT2. In that case, this local news segment shares the same branding and graphics as Aktuellt. There are no local SVT newscasts on Saturdays. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Newspapers">Newspapers</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Local_news&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Newspapers"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A lot of newspapers specialize in covering the cities they are based in.
