Breaking news is a news event that warrants an interruption of the usual non-news programming (or, in the case of national network newscasts, even of those broadcast live) to present the latest developments and analysis. The breaking news may be a short-lived event such as a weather alert, or it may last for several hours or days and require extensive coverage and frequent breaks in regular commercial advertising. Such a report is typically introduced through an opening graphic or a countdown sequence, followed by the network feed announcing that a Special Report will be coming up, and urging viewers to stand by for the break.
