Trending is a segment of the American television newsmagazine program Current News that reports on stories and events that are currently popular with viewers. The trending stories are aired through the program’s regular segments, and can also be found on its website. When a story is trending, it appears at the top of the screen on all platforms. It may be followed by a segment from a celebrity or other guest, or a feature about how the story is impacting various sectors of society. If the breaking news is urgent enough, the regular program will be interrupted by a special “newsflash” or “special report”, which will be followed by a countdown to allow affiliates to switch to the network feed. This is a practice that was common in North America before the advent of 24-hour news channels, and which was used during the assassination of John F. Kennedy and other nationally significant events that required a nationwide interruption of regular programming.
