When a news event occurs that warrants immediate and nationwide coverage, it may be necessary to interrupt current non-news programming. This is known as Breaking News. Prior to the emergence of 24-hour news channels, such interruptions were typically reserved for events that would elicit national outrage or shock, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy or a major natural disaster, that would compel stations to suspend their regular commercial advertising in favor of long-form emergency coverage. When a breaking news event requires an interrupted broadcast, the network will usually alert all affiliates to stand by and then initiate a countdown sequence that will allow them to switch over to the network feed. Depending on the nature of the news, this may be as brief as a few minutes, or it may extend for multiple hours or days.
