Sinclair tried this quasi-hybrid approach when they launched NEWSCENTRAL across the country at their small affiliates. Large portions of programme was presented from the DC I think. Weather and Sports was centralized and there was an presenter in each market. But everything else was the same. Music, graphics, etc. Im not sure if everything was pre-recorded or live. But it was a weird product and it was a disaster. So eventually they got rid of it. But clearly their local stations arent doing well. But Sinclair and its Conservative mandated stories got really bad press.
