Trending is a news segment on Current News that talks about stories that are currently breaking and trending. During the day, this may include topics such as:
Breaking news is a news event that requires immediate coverage and often interrupts non-news programming or regular network newscasts (before 24-hour cable/satellite/Internet networks existed, breaking news was usually limited to events that required nationwide coverage and forced stations to halt their normal broadcasts; examples included the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy or severe weather events such as tornado warnings). In many cases, a national network will alert all of its affiliated stations and tell them to stand by for an interruption. Depending on the severity of the story, this could last for only minutes or multiple hours or days.
Trending March 19, 2026: The stalemate between Israel and Iran has impacted global markets, a Utah jury convicts Kouri Richins in her husband’s death from a fentanyl-spiked drink and a new investigation suggests that the late labor rights leader Cesar Chavez abused children and raped women.
