During an event that requires extensive coverage, the local station may have to provide more details in order to keep viewers informed. This may involve the reporter actually being at the scene of the event. The network may also be forced to reschedule programming for the duration of the event.
The “big news” or best new story of the day is usually the first to break. This is usually in the form of a news flash. It is typically a short snippet of information, usually accompanied by music.
The same is true of the “special report” or “breaking news” – the most important thing of the day. These are often short snippets, usually limited to station identification and a recap of the story, or a disclaimer stating that more information will be provided on the local station.
There are a variety of sources for this type of information. One of the earliest was the coverage of the John F. Kennedy assassination between November 22 and 26, 1963. The coverage was provided by CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite.
The world news page is an excellent source for international news. You can also find links to local news outlets and radio stations.
The outro promos are often designed to direct viewers to streaming news channels or the local station’s website. This is especially true during sporting events, including college sports.
The most important information is usually disseminated by the station master control or an internal alert service.
