Current News is NPR’s daily news show that covers politics, national security, foreign policy and the economy. It airs from 6-9am ET and can be heard on radio and online.
During breaking news events, NPR and its affiliate stations interrupt non-news programming or, until the advent of 24-hour news networks, regularly scheduled newscasts with a special graphic (sometimes called “Newsflash” or “Special Report”) and a distinctive music cue. This type of interruption is usually followed by an anchor or reporter who provides analysis about the event.
