Trending is a feature that shows the latest popular stories on Current News. Generally, these are stories that are trending on social media, and are often chosen by the network or the station’s viewers. A trending story may be featured on the homepage or within the app. Depending on the urgency of the story, it is possible that current non-news programming or a regular newscast will be interrupted by breaking news coverage. Historically, such break-ins were reserved for extremely urgent news events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy or a severe weather event that would require numerous stations to interrupt their broadcasts simultaneously to provide live coverage.
