Trending is a feature that talks about the stories and topics that are popular on Current News. The stories are ranked by the number of views, shares and likes that they have received on social media platforms. When a story is Trending, it is shown at the top of the page and in the sidebar. The article also includes a video from the story and links to other articles on Current News that talk about the same topic.
When a story breaks that is so important that it requires a live interruption of current non-news programming, the network usually alerts its affiliates and asks them to stand by. A countdown sequence will then be displayed as the station’s current programming pauses and the network feed takes over with a special graphic indicating what is happening.
