Gabe, A national news show like "NBC Nightly News" is only on for 30 mins a day. Local news stations have morning news 5am-7am (sometimes longer) midday 12-1, and evening 5-6 and nightly news 11-11:30.
This means they produce about 4 hours of programming per day. So their investment goes much further since they produce 8 times as many hours of content.
