NPR stations are the original federated model.

Different stations produce different shows and share them among each other. That’s federation, baby.

It took getting into the fediverse for me to learn how NPR works?

I take pride that a lot of the bigger shows seem to be out of my local affiliate. I wish I had the cash to support it, though.

KCRW, out of LA; they're close with NPR since they're both on the West side. I swear I often hear the same voices.

My local stations small but growing. Plus they recently released The Last Ride which I think did well.
