Breaking news is a term used in television and radio broadcasting for events that are developing so rapidly that they require immediate coverage and must be interrupted either of current non-news programming or, until the advent of 24-hour news networks, regular network or syndicated newscasts. This may be accomplished through a “Newsflash” or, at a 24-hour news channel, a live interruption by an anchor. The announcement is typically accompanied by a special graphic and distinctive music cue. In recent years, some major network affiliates have begun using a special ticker for breaking stories during regularly scheduled programming, which can lessen the need for cut-ins.
