Breaking News is a segment of a television or radio program that covers current events deemed significant enough to interrupt the regular flow of scheduled programming. Depending on the nature of the breaking news, it may involve an in-studio interview or offsite reporting. Breaking news coverage is often preceded by a countdown sequence and the network feed being paused so that any affiliates can join the report, or by a special graphic, sometimes referred to as “Newsflash” or “Special Report.”
Until the advent of 24-hour cable and satellite news channels, interruptions were limited to major events such as the assassination of John F. Kennedy, and severe weather, such as landfalling hurricanes and tornadoes. More recently, some stations have begun using a rolling ticker during regularly scheduled programming to keep viewers updated on breaking stories. In some cases, networks have also launched a dedicated breaking news channel to maintain constant coverage of a developing story.
