During prime time, breaking news can interrupt a local television newscast. Breaking news is sometimes referred to as a special report or a live story. It’s a type of interruption that usually lasts a few minutes.
A local station will usually be given a brief cue from network talent to stop what they’re doing and join the network’s feed. The station will likely return to its normal programming once the coverage is complete. However, if the event lasts longer, the station may need to continue the coverage. Depending on the length of the coverage, regular commercial advertising may be suspended.
A local station may also be given the option to break away from the network’s feed for a short time. This allows the station to provide more details about the event. A reporter at the scene will also share additional information as the story breaks.
The breaking news theme may be repeated in the lower thirds to convey the sense of urgency of the story. When the news breaks, the network may also use a live shot of the anchor. The network may also integrate its analysis of the story into its coverage.
Some networks may also offer an outro promo, directing viewers to a streaming news channel or the station’s website. The anchor will also remind viewers that a full wrap-up will be available on local news.
Most radio stations are careful about relaying stories during play-by-play broadcasts of professional sports. During the assassination of John F. Kennedy, CBS News anchorman Walter Cronkite provided coverage.
