Trending is a segment of Current News that talks about what’s trending on social media sites like Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. It is a great way to share interesting content and see what others are talking about. The trending topics are based on real time searches done by the viewers.

Until the rise of 24-hour news channels, cut-ins (also known as Newsflash or Special report) were reserved for breaking events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which demanded nationwide coverage and caused multiple stations to interrupt regular programming. The interruption usually begins with a countdown sequence on the network feed, telling affiliated stations to stand by for a break in programming.
