About Trending

Breaking news is an announcement of urgent, significant or developing news. Generally, it requires the interrupting of non-news programming (or, in some cases, regular newscasts). If a breaking event occurs during a national network’s current newscast, it will typically pause briefly and display a countdown sequence for affiliate stations to switch to the network feed. Once the feed is active, a news anchor will appear, often with a distinctive opening graphic and a distinctive audio cue. If the story warrants continued coverage, the broadcast may be interrupted for several hours or even days. Breaking news may also be called a Newsflash, Special Report or a similar name.
