Breaking news is an urgent current event that warrants immediate broadcast coverage. Typically, the network in question will alert its affiliates and pause its national feed to allow them to switch to the breaking news report. The break usually begins with a countdown sequence and distinctive music cue, followed by a news anchor who introduces the story at hand. The station identification may be overlaid at the top of the screen or, in the case of 24-hour news networks, be integrated into the report itself. Breaking news reports are also known as newsflash or special report. Until the rise of 24-hour news channels, programming interruptions were generally reserved for very serious events such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963.
