A breaking news story is a news event that warrants an immediate interruption of current non-news programming (or, in the case of some national network newscasts, a pause in regular broadcasts so network affiliates can switch to a live network feed). Such occurrences are usually accompanied by a countdown sequence for affiliated stations to prepare to join the network feed. The news event is then introduced by a news anchor and the opening graphic, often with a distinctive music cue, and lower thirds may be altered to convey a sense of urgency. Breaking news reports can range in length from a few minutes to hours or even days, depending on the nature of the story. See also: Newsflash and Special report.
