You mean, the occasional traffic and weather? Yes, but that's mostly inserted into a non-local program, isn't it? One thing one often hears is that radio has been thriving on so-called "talk radio" shows, but they are hardly local. In the DC market, we do have one radio station that I would classify as being local, with news, weather, and traffic. Most of the content is indeed local. But that's only one station in the market.
