Breaking news is a news event that is so urgent or significant that it requires an immediate interruption of regular programming to provide live coverage of its progress or impact. Prior to the advent of 24-hour news networks, these interruptions were typically limited to incredibly serious events, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, for which national network affiliates paused their regular broadcasts and cut-ins were used on local stations.
Typically, breaking news coverage starts with an opening graphic or countdown sequence over a distinctive music cue, followed by the host of the newscast and then the story itself. If the story continues to develop, the network may overlay their ticker over its regular programming.
