Current News is a term used for breaking news stories. Typically, a national network will interrupt regularly scheduled programming, or in some cases, live broadcasts of regular network newscasts to run a special report on an event that requires immediate coverage. The network will then usually provide a countdown sequence, so that its affiliates may interrupt their own local non-news programming to join the network feed. Often, the station will use its special report graphic, with a distinctive music cue and altered lower thirds, to convey a sense of urgency. Before 24-hour news networks existed, cut-ins were restricted to very urgent news events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
