Current News is a type of Breaking News coverage. When a significant event occurs that elicits nationwide coverage, or requires a large number of stations to interrupt regular programming, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, a national network will alert all of its affiliated stations to “stand by for a Special Report.” The national feed will then pause, while a countdown sequence is used to allow station affiliates to switch to the breaking news segment from the national feed. The telecast will then open with a graphic and a distinct music cue, often including a warning to viewers of the serious nature of the report.
