This will vary from place to place, but I can only judge based on what is local to me, and what is local here stinks. For starters, this station's local in-studio (sometimes on location) radio show claims to be #1 in the city. That's not surprising, since as far as I know it's the only sports radio local show in said city.
The usual host of said show is adequate at best. He evidently has nasal issues because he often times sniffs loudly enough to come through his microphone (just what you hope for in a radio announcer). His voice is often nasal as well, particularly when pronouncing certain words (anything with a hard A, for instance). The thing is that this guy does quite well when discussing certain topics, like boxing. He'll have Burt Sugar as a guest sometimes and the host obviously knows the history and lore of the sport. On a few other topics he does fine too. But, and this is important, most of his shows don't include the areas where he shines. Instead I am treated to boring dissertations of local high school football, with local HS football coaches who make lousy guests/interviewees. Far too often the guest is a local TV sports person, who happens to be in the host's fantasy football league, and I get to hear a 20 minute conversation about their FF league and listen as they crack each other up as they trash talk other members of that league.
