The term breaking news refers to an urgent news event that requires a pause in regular non-news programming or, in some cases, a delay of a network’s regular television newscast. Prior to the existence of 24-hour news channels, such interruptions were only used for very significant events that elicited nationwide coverage and required multiple stations to interrupt their programming simultaneously, such as the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Breaking news is usually accompanied by a graphic, with a distinctive music cue and a countdown sequence to alert network affiliates to the break. The breaking news can be presented through cut-ins or alert crawls during regularly scheduled programming, though a separate, dedicated ticker may also be used.
