A breaking news event that requires an immediate interruption of non-news programming (or, in some cases, regular newscasts) for live coverage. This type of breaking story can last a short time, or may stretch out over hours or even days. News broadcasts can include analysis of the developing situation, and may also involve experts in-studio, by phone, satellite or broadband. If the event is severe enough, a special ticker will replace the station imaging promo or program reminder, and lower thirds are often modified to convey urgency. Breaking news is a key feature of 24-hour news channels. Before the rise of these channels, breaking news events typically triggered national network cut-ins during non-news programming, and only the most serious situations would warrant such an interruption in local television and radio station broadcasting.
