Breaking news is a news story that has prompted a significant number of stations to interrupt their regular non-news programming and begin covering it live. The resulting broadcasts are commonly known as “Newsflash” or “Special Report” and usually start with an opening graphic, often accompanied by a distinct music cue. The network feed may then pause and display a countdown sequence to allow its affiliates to switch over from their local newscasts to the national feed. Until the rise of 24-hour news channels, such interrupts were typically reserved for major events that would elicit nationwide coverage, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
