Trending is a section on Current News that highlights the top stories that people are talking about on Facebook. When a breaking story occurs, it will usually interrupt non-news programming (or in the case of network newscasts, pause the existing program to allow affiliate stations to join the national feed). The station’s own local weather forecast will often be interrupted for severe or prolonged weather events, as was common before 24-hour news channels existed, when cut-ins and alert crawls were used. If the event warrants nationwide coverage, a special graphic will be overlaid on the lower third of the screen.
