About Trending
In television and radio broadcasting, breaking news is an urgent news story requiring an immediate interrupt of current non-news programming (or occasionally of regular scheduled newscasts) to cover the event. Typically, a special graphic will be displayed and the network feed will then cut in to the newscast to cover the event; an affiliate may use a countdown sequence to allow time for viewers to stand by while switching to the main network feed. Breaking news coverage usually includes information about the story and its impact, along with analysis from the network’s on-air analysts. Historically, this type of interruption was reserved for extremely important events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy or a severe weather event that required extensive, nationwide coverage.
