Breaking news is a news event that requires an immediate interruption of current non-news programming or, in the case of 24-hour news channels, the network’s own regularly scheduled broadcast. This type of news coverage typically begins with a countdown sequence to allow network affiliates to switch over to the network feed and an opening graphic indicating that there is breaking news. Then the news anchors will take over the program to begin reporting the story.
Until recently, break-ins were reserved for major events that required nationwide coverage and demanded stations interrupt their programming, such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
