About Current News
Trending is a live segment on the top stories of the day. When an event occurs that warrants breaking news coverage, non-news television and radio programming may be interrupted for a brief period of time to carry the report. Typically, networks will alert affiliates ahead of time that the break is coming, which allows them to interrupt their own regular programming with a countdown to allow viewers to switch to the network feed. Alternatively, some broadcasters will run special “Newsflash” or “Special Report” tickers during regularly scheduled news programs.
