Just out of curiosity, what local PBS stations produce a program for statewide audiences? For example.

"California's Gold" was produced by KCET from 1991-2012 before Huell Howser death.
"Oregon Field Guide" is produce by Oregon Public Broadcasting, 1990 Present
"Outdoor Idaho" is produce by Idaho Public Television, 1983-Present
"Colorado Experience" is produce by Rocky Mountain PBS, 2013-Present

Any others?

PBS's Create subchannel has aired quite a few in their "Hometown Create" block. I imagine every state has at least two or three.

As for my neck of the woods, we have Tennessee Crossroads, Volunteer Gardener, and Wild Side that air on all six of Tennessee's PBS affiliates whether it be on the main channel during the week or on weekends or on the second subchannel on weekends.
 
KCPT-TV, Ch. 19 in Kansas City, MO, produced the folk art\travel show, "Rare Visions & Roadside Revelations", from 1996 to about 2012. The show started out local, but then was picked up by other PBS stations elsewhere. At one point, it was carried on KOZK-TV, Ch. 21 in Springfield, MO, as well as, KOZJ-TV, Ch. 26 in Joplin, MO & also KTWU-TV, Ch. 11 in Topeka, KS. WBCC-TV (Now WEFS-TV.), Ch. 68 in Cocoa, FL also carried the show back in the early-to-mid 2000's, along with KLCS-TV, Ch. 58 in Los Angeles, CA.

KCET used to produce a Statewide Newsmagazine show called California Connected which aired on PBS affiliates in California but that was cancelled.

However California Connected has been cancelled due to finding cuts at the time. Since the shows cancellation in 2007 the Affiliates to local news shows such as KQED Newsroom, KVIE Studio Sacramento and KPBS Evening edition.
 
KTCA Minneapolis (Twin Cities Public TV) produces "Almanac" which is shown statewide Friday nights at 7pm. One thing of note is the 5 different PBS stations in MN are owned by different entities

KTCA & KTCI Minneapolis owned by TPT
KAWE & KAWB Bemidji/Brainerd owned by Northern Minnesota Public Television, Inc
KWCM & KSMN Appleton/Worthington owned by West Central Minnesota Educational TV Corp
