Current News is a news segment that appears in television programming on various major networks. The segments are aired when events warrant interrupting regular non-news programming (or, in some cases, even a network newscast) for immediate coverage. Prior to the advent of 24-hour news channels, such interruptions were rare and usually limited to breaking stories of national importance that required multiple stations across a large geographic area to interrupt their broadcasts at once. In the case of a breaking story, a station may notify its network affiliates to stand by for an immediate interruption and subsequently switch to a special report feed. The special reports are often identified with a distinct graphic and distinctive music cues to convey the urgency of the news event.
