In the US, the three major radio (and now TV) networks usually just provided a news summery once an hour (usually about 5 minutes) to the local radio stations. The rest of the hour of programming would still be locally produced so the local accents would still be heard. The TV networks work in much the same way except that the National News is about 30 minutes once in the evening along with the nation morning shows for an hour or so (not real sure about the time as I don't watch the morning shows!). There is local news that preceeds (or follows) the national news from the network. With the coming of the internet, one can listin to the BBC all day long or any other programming (coming from anywhere) without hearing any local programming.
