Streaming news has taken TV news by storm. Streaming news has set a new standard for news delivery, allowing viewers to customize their experience and access news anywhere. This new format has been successful in drawing niche audiences and has helped news networks attract new viewers.
The first breaking news to hit TV news was the assassination of John F. Kennedy in 1963. The news coverage was provided by CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite.
The next major breaking news interruption was the September 11 attacks. The assassination of the President occurred between September 11 and September 15. This was a significant story to the nation’s newscasters.
Another example of a breaking news was the April 2017 Shayrat missile strike. This caused the network to interrupt a new episode of Scandal.
During the early days of cable TV, a town crier would bellow news as he walked through a town. This was a superior format to the newssheet, which was portable and sharable.
Today, a breaking news event can last for hours or days. In this case, the network may pause to let other affiliates join in on the coverage. When the coverage is over, the network may resume previous programming.
A breaking news event may also be interrupted by local newscasts. A local station may cut away to the news video of the event, or it may continue to show the live shot of the anchor. The station will then remind viewers that more details will be available on the local news.
