Breaking news is a term for a breaking story that requires an immediate interruption of current non-news programming on broadcast television. Broadcasts may use a special graphic and music, or a countdown, to inform viewers that the program is going to go off the air for an urgent news report. A similar pause is used for national network news programs when a significant news event occurs that warrants a nationwide interruption of programming. Prior to the rise of 24-hour news networks, such interruptions were only made for extremely urgent events, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy. This type of breaking news is also sometimes known as a Newsflash or a Special Report.
