In the United States, breaking news is a broadcast media event of such severity that it requires an immediate interruption of regular programming (news or non-news) in order to provide updates and analysis on the story at hand. This typically involves the newscasters of a network or radio station interrupting their scheduled programming with an on-air alert and graphic, followed by a cut-in to the news feed of the local affiliate that is covering the breaking story. Often times lower thirds and other graphics are also altered to convey a sense of urgency, or may be highlighted in a different color than the rest of the visuals.
Before 24-hour news networks were prevalent, such breaks were usually reserved for extremely urgent news events that required many stations to interrupt their programming to cover them, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Today, these breaks are common on national news channels and many major market television and radio stations.
