Trending is a term used by broadcasters to describe a breaking story that requires an immediate interruption in regular programming. This usually occurs when a news event warrants nationwide coverage and elicits immediate interest, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963, which required stations to interrupt their regularly scheduled programming in order to provide live coverage. Breaking news coverage typically involves a countdown sequence, which allows affiliates to switch to the network feed and begins with an opening graphic and distinctive music cue. Some networks also use special report tickers to cover specific breaking stories during their regularly scheduled newscasts, reducing the need for cut-ins. Other names for breaking news include newsflash and special report.
