Breaking news is the term used by television and radio broadcasters to describe an event that occurs so quickly and warrants immediate coverage, such as the assassination of a national leader or severe weather conditions. In the case of breaking news, a station’s regular non-news programming will be interrupted. The interruption is usually preceded by a countdown sequence on the network feed, which allows affiliated stations to switch over. If the event is particularly significant, a breaking news ticker may be displayed over top of current programming, rather than through a cut-in. This is also known as a newsflash or special report.
