Flagship station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In broadcasting, a flagship station is the station which originates a broadcast network, or a particular radio show or TV show, primarily in the United States and Canada. This includes both direct network feeds and syndication, but generally not backhauls. Not all networks or shows have a flagship station, as some originate from a dedicated studio.
