Breaking news is a segment of television or radio coverage of an event that warrants immediate, urgent coverage and the interruption of current non-news programming. Prior to the advent of 24-hour news networks, breaking news events were typically confined to extremely serious incidents such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which elicited nationwide coverage and required many stations to interrupt their programming; severe weather events were typically covered through cut-ins or alert crawls during regularly scheduled newscasts. When a network announces that a breaking story will interrupt programming, a special graphic will usually appear over a countdown sequence; a different opening music cue is often used.
