When an event occurs that is so important and urgent that it warrants an interruption of non-news or regular newscasts, a special report or newsflash will appear on the screen. The special report will typically use a different graphic style, often with an urgent music cue, and lower thirds and other graphics may also be used to convey the sense of urgency. If the story is of nationwide importance, network affiliates will be asked to interrupt their local newscast to join the national feed and to insert their station identification into the break. This practice was common before 24-hour news networks were available, and is now used in some cases even on conventional television and radio.
