Whether you’re watching television or listening to radio, you’re likely familiar with the term “breaking news.” It’s used to describe a live story, or a story of a high degree of interest to the audience. Oftentimes, news reports last for a couple of minutes. But there are times when a story can last days.
“Breaking news” is often used interchangeably with “late-breaking news.” But it is used more often than not to refer to live stories. And in some instances, it can also refer to stories that are old.
When breaking news happens during prime time, it can interrupt local newscasts and over-the-air programs. For example, ABC’s April 2017 Shayrat missile strike interrupted a new episode of Scandal. But, after the episode was rerun, the network continued to cover the story.
A similar process occurs in radio. Oftentimes, breaking news is used for news that is more important than the day’s other stories, or if the news is news that the network wants to emphasize. This kind of coverage may also involve an internal alert service.
The news anchor introduces the story, and the program may cut away to a video of the story. At the end, the anchor tells viewers that they’ll get more details on local news.
The network will also often pause and allow other affiliate stations to join the feed. When coverage is over, the network will resume programming. However, if the program is longer than 20 or 45 minutes, it may have to be rescheduled.
