Neither of PBS's Western Washington affiliates (KCTS or KBTC) air Welk, but the affiliates in much more conservative eastern Washington do (KSPS Spokane and KWSU Pullman) as does Idaho Public Television. Is that the common pattern in the rest of the country or does it also air in more big city areas?

I suspect as much. As discussed in a thread a year ago, The Welk show was dropped by Colorado's Rocky Mountain PBS in the fall of 2019. I forgot about the article from Oklahoma public TV I linked in that thread which said that Welk was down to just 100 stations in the fall of 2019.
