When a breaking news story occurs that warrants interruption of current non-news programming, or even a regular scheduled newscast (in the case of network affiliates), a brief warning sequence is usually first played to inform viewers/listeners of the upcoming news break. Next, the station identifies itself via a special graphic that features a unique music cue or lower third and begins to transition over to a breaking news feed from its national news network.
NPR’s Trending looks at a selection of stories that have been making headlines this week:
A man with Tourette syndrome shouts racial slurs at the BAFTA awards ceremony.
An icy winter storm is wreaking havoc with travel across the northeastern United States.
SCOTUS rules that US businesses have been treated unfairly by Trump’s global tariffs.
Conservation biologist and explorer Steve Boyes talks about the elusive giants featured in his new film for National Geographic.
Before 24-hour news channels became the norm, programming interruptions were generally reserved for extremely urgent events such as the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Since then, it’s become more common for stations to use “Newsflash” or “Special Report” tickers during regularly scheduled programming for select breaking stories, lessening the need to interrupt for live cut-ins.
