Trending is a segment on Current News that talks about what’s currently popular and relevant. The segment often includes an interview or discussion with someone from the public and can be a great way to connect with your viewers.

If a breaking news event occurs that requires a station to interrupt regular programming, a network will typically alert its affiliates and inform them to “stand by.” This is often done prior to an anchor taking over for live reporting, but it can occur at any time when the story warrants an immediate interruption. When this happens, an opening graphic with distinctive music will usually appear.
