Breaking news is a news story that requires immediate, urgent coverage and is so important as to warrant interrupting non-news programming (and, in some cases, regular scheduled newscasts). In the past, when breaking news events occurred, they usually required stations to suspend their regular programs and cut-in to special news segments known as “Newsflash” or “Special report”. Now with the advent of 24-hour television networks, it is possible for breaking news to be interrupted with live anchors at any time. In such instances, network feeds are usually accompanied by an opening graphic with a distinctive music cue.
