I don't know a ton about public radio in America, but I'd bet that WNYC is one of the most well funded (they produce Radiolab, among others). As discussed in the article, most local stations are just republishing NPR content, not creating the kind of great content you're talking about.

All public radio stations I know of do republish NPR content, and that's usually the bulk of their programming, but I live in a very poor, conservative state and the local public radio station has local news and many other local programs. I can't imagine it's different elsewhere.
In fact, a quick look at the schedule shows all the programming from 8:30-12 on weekdays is local programming, with different shows on different days. If the affiliate in my state can afford that, I can't imagine others can't.

I've listened to WNYC for years but I have also lived all over the States except the Northwest and nothing can touch the quality of WNYC. I now live in PA but I stream the station all the time with my phone.
