Current News is a term used to refer to an interruption of regular television or radio programming in order to report on a breaking news story. Broadcasters often assign a specific story to be covered in this manner, usually the most important or most critical story of the moment, a breaking local news story, or a story that is being broadcast live.
Typical coverage includes a graphic announcing the interruption (often with music, such as “The Pulse of Events” by John Williams, or the phrase “just in”). The anchor may introduce a story that is being followed, and the news director of the station may choose to provide the viewer with an opening shot of a local scene if the newscast is being held for an extended time.
When a network’s program is interrupted by a breaking news event, the broadcaster will typically alert all of its affiliates via an internal alert/message service. This is followed by an introduction to the news anchor or other news team members (depending on the nature of the breaking event) and the story being followed.
Breaking news reports typically last for several minutes or longer, and can include information from the scene of the incident or from a reporter who has travelled to the location. If a break is longer than 20 or 45 minutes, the network may pre-empt its program in order to fully cover the story.
After the coverage has ended, the network will either resume programming that was being aired before the interruption (if there is time) or will begin new programming. For network news programs, this is done by joining in-progress segments or beginning a new episode.
