This Morning’s Top Headlines – November 28 | Morning News NOW
During a newscast, a breaking news story may interrupt the program. This is often done for newsworthy events and may be done during the prime time hour. Networks may also pause a program to allow other network affiliates to join the feed.
During a breaking news story, a reporter is usually at the scene of the event. As information becomes available, the reporter will share more details. The reporter may also pass the information on to a network news anchor. During a break, the network news anchor will introduce the story.
A breaking news story can last for several hours. Some local stations may cut away to a video of the story and join on an “extended edition.” In addition, some networks integrate the analysis of the story.
Some local all-news radio stations are owned by CBS Radio and are purposely structured to give viewers a sense of urgency. During a breaking news story, the station may cut away to a video of the event or join the network’s feed for an “extended edition.”
Most local television stations do not have reverse countdowns. Instead, the program will be interrupted for a few seconds to allow the network to re-establish its program.
The network may also allow the local station to start a newscast at the same time. This occurs if there is a newsworthy event in the local area and the network has been provided a cue by the local station’s news director.
