"Local" news

I was surprised that much of "local" TV news stations is not locally owned.

Is "local" commentary local?

If I choose to watch Fox, I know it's the same regardless of where I am. That's a fair choice.

If I watch a local news station, and the local anchor makes a commentary, I assumed that commentary was hers or his.

Apparently, Sinclair Broadcast Group gives local news anchors scripts that they must use --without telling that it is centrally scripted. Why do they hide this?
