Current News
Trending is a segment of a television or radio news program that talks about stories making headlines. This is a break from normal programming that often comes with a special graphics and distinctive music cue, to alert viewers of the breaking news. The segment may last a few minutes, or longer depending on the story. If the news is of a national or international importance, network affiliates may interrupt their own newscast to carry the report. In the days before 24-hour news networks, breaking news events often required stations to interrupt regular programming to break the news. In recent years, some networks have adopted “Special Report” tickers to follow breaking stories during regularly scheduled news programs, eliminating the need for cut-ins and other interruptions.
