Breaking news is a term used in television and radio broadcasting for urgent, important events that require the station to interrupt regularly scheduled non-news programming or its network feed. A breaking news alert, usually with a distinctive music cue and an opening graphic, is often followed by a live or taped update from the studio. In the past, breaking news events were often interrupted with short-form newsflashes or alert crawls during regularly scheduled programs or, in rare cases, long-form weather coverage. Now, 24-hour news channels have become the norm and can interrupt programming at a moment’s notice.
