Breaking news is the name of a news story that, because of its urgency, requires a broadcaster to interrupt either non-news or, in some cases, regularly scheduled newscasts. Often a network’s breaking news is preceded by a countdown sequence, allowing network affiliates to switch to the feed at a suitable point in time. Breaking news coverage can range from a short, brief flurry of information to an ongoing report that lasts for hours or even days. Before the advent of 24-hour news networks, breaking news events were usually limited to severe weather or major national emergencies such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, which required numerous stations across the country to break into their regular programming for live coverage.
