Breaking news is a news story that is so significant or urgent that it requires current non-news programming to be interrupted for live reporting. Usually, when this happens, there is a graphic displayed that tells viewers to stand by and/or to stay tuned to the network feed. During this time, the network may also have an alert crawl across the lower thirds. This type of breaking news is also known as a Newsflash or Special report.

Kennedy or severe weather events that elicited widespread coverage.
