Current News is a term used to describe breaking news stories that affect the general public. This may include a major disaster, terrorist attack, or even a celebrity death.
Often, it is broadcast live on a television network or station. This is sometimes done with the assistance of local reporters or a reporter-in-charge (PIC) who is on site and sharing coverage from their location as it breaks in real time.
When a breaking news event occurs, the national network or station will usually pause in order to allow affiliates and other stations to join the broadcast feed. An opening graphic or a voiceover will announce the interruption and will lead into a story about the breaking news.
The story may last a few minutes, or several hours – or for some reports, even days. The news anchor will usually introduce the report and then begin a detailed explanation of what happened, including the number of people killed and injured, and how the event is progressing. The news anchor will typically end the report by mentioning that more information will be available later on their local station or on their network’s overnight news program, as applicable.
This is generally the only time a television station or network will pre-empt their regular programming during a breaking news event, depending on whether they are a national or local outlet and the amount of coverage they can afford to provide. A program that is new to air or a highly-rated program may be joined in progress during this time, while a sister station or digital subchannel might provide alternate programming for an episode that has been pre-empted due to the breaking news.
