Current News (also known as Breaking News) is a term that is used to describe current events or issues that warrant interruption of scheduled programming. This can be for stories of wide interest to viewers, such as car chases, or it may be for an important issue that is being reported live.
The most common form of breaking news coverage on television consists of a national network newscast or local station interrupting their programming for an event, such as a major disaster, political crisis or war. The program will open with a graphic or opening musical score and introduce the news anchor or host who welcomes viewers to the broadcast and introduces the story at hand.
Upon the introduction of the news report, the news anchor will either continue to deliver the story in-studio or pass it to a reporter who will be covering the event and relaying information as it is received from the field. The coverage may last for only a few minutes, or it could continue for hours or even days at a time, depending on the severity of the situation.
When the coverage is over, a news anchor will usually remind viewers that there will be more details on their local newscast or on the network’s overnight news program (if applicable) the next day. During the evening newscast, the anchor will also often remind viewers that they can find more details on the station’s website or on other platforms, including television and streaming news channels.
