Breaking News is a type of news coverage that interrupts regular non-news programming (or, in the case of some 24-hour news networks, regularly scheduled live newscasts). When an event occurs that is deemed by the broadcaster to be sufficiently important to warrant interruption of other programs, the network feed will usually pause and display a countdown sequence. Then a special report opens, often with a distinct graphic and music cue. Occasionally, breaking news can continue for multiple hours or days, which may require regular commercial breaks to be inserted by network affiliates into their local broadcasts.
