There usually is something that impacts the audience, just not enough to fill whatever hours aren't dedicated to ads. Even if the service uses some of the time for local, that's likely still the case, that's part of why NPR has blocks of programming for education or entertainment as the alternative would be more commentary on the same stories.
Our federal broadcaster (called the ABC) have a program for kids called "Behind the news" for primary school kids. It dissects the news stories and goes into detail critically analysing the stories. As a result primary school kids are sometimes better informed about current affairs than their parents who watch the news cycle. the ABC also have a program called "Media watch" which dissects the spin from journalists. Both of these programs can help viewers decode news stories.
