Current News is a breaking-news report that interrupts normal programming (either on the network feed or on individual affiliate stations), with a distinctive logo and countdown to let viewers know that the news story has been interrupted. It is often the first of several hours of coverage, with analysis and additional information being inserted throughout the day as events unfold. During the break, the newsflash logo is usually shown on the lower third of the screen, unless the event is so major that it warrants a full interruption. This type of special report is often referred to as a “Special Report” or a “Newsflash.” Breaking news in the past, prior to 24-hour television news networks, was limited to severe weather events requiring nationwide coverage and causing stations to suspend regular commercial advertising or use cut-ins during regular programming.
