Current News focuses on trending news stories that impact the world around us. Whether it’s breaking stories that keep you up to date on what’s happening in the world, or stories that teach your kids about important topics and help them build their critical-thinking skills, there’s something for everyone.
Breaking news, also known as special report or special coverage, is the interruption of regular broadcast programming in order to cover an ongoing story. These interrupts are mainly used when an event warrants coverage that may not be possible otherwise, such as the death of an important political figure or a natural disaster.
The news is introduced by the anchor or reporter of the network or station in the studio, with a brief summary of what has been reported so far, and usually includes a graphic or lower third indicating that the story is “breaking”. Information about the news may be passed to reporters on the ground for follow-up, if available.
When the story is over, the station or network will revert to normal programming. If the story involves a major event (such as a terrorist attack), the program may be joined in progress or resumed right at the point of interruption, depending on how much time was spent covering it.
The format of a breaking news story is the same for radio, but the music and voiceovers are often altered to give an urgent tenor. Most radio stations (including those owned by Audacy, formerly CBS Radio) use this approach to only break the most serious news; other types of breaking news are handled with a less urgent and more laid-back tenor.
