Breaking news is a term used for events that are considered so important and urgent that they warrant interruption of current non-news programming (or, in the case of network newscasts, their scheduled broadcast) to report the story. The interrupting graphic typically includes a distinctive music cue and an alert crawl that informs viewers that a special report is about to begin. In the past, breaking news events required stations to cut into their regular programming, but today it is common for 24-hour cable and satellite news networks to offer special reports during regularly scheduled programming, lessening the need for a cut-in.
