Cant let you leave my boy Huell Howser and his California Gold program produced at KCET off this list.

Don't forget Bob Ross' The Joy of Painting from WIPB in Muncie, Indiana.

Also a really common type of local program is programming about gardening and other outdoor activities. They'll focus on plants that'll grow in the local climate and usually have specials to tell people that now is the best time to plant some plant or another because the ground has finally thawed or whatever. I've also seen specials about nearby state parks and birdwatching type programs.

Georgia Outdoors is an incredible show local to the state of Georgia. http://www.gpb.org/television/shows/georgia-outdoors
The stations are locally-owned. Usually by a college, school district, or local government entity.
I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a local program on one
Almost all PBS stations have local programming, even in small markets. Some of them award-winning programs.
And a lot of the "national" shows are actually productions of local stations. For example, Masterpiece is WGBH/Boston (in partnership with other broadcasters). Sesame Street started out as WNET/Newark.
Some PBS stations do a good job of providing unique programming to small markets. For example, in the 90's WVIA/Scranton aired Star Trek reruns because they weren't available in that market.
