With respect, Jane Average Viewer doesn't distinguish between the
network and the local station.  It's all "CBS" (etc.) to her,
regardless of how the programs are distributed.  (In a sense, the
viewers are ahead of the industry here in ignoring the artificial
boundary between "local" and "network", particularly in the case of
network-owned stations.)
