warrants an interruption of current non-news programming (or, in some cases, regularly scheduled newscasts), the broadcaster will usually alert all of its affiliates, telling them to stand by for the interruption. The network's feed will then switch to a countdown sequence, to allow any <a href="/wiki/Network_affiliate" title="Network affiliate">affiliated stations</a> to switch to the network feed. If a national network newscast is in progress when the breaking news event occurs, the newscast will pause temporarily to allow other network affiliates to join the feed. There is then an opening graphic, with a distinctive music cue. The open is followed by the introduction of a <a href="/wiki/News_anchor" class="mw-redirect" title="News anchor">news anchor</a>, who welcomes the viewer to the broadcast and introduces the story at hand. <a href="/wiki/Lower_thirds" class="mw-redirect" title="Lower thirds">Lower thirds</a> and other graphics may also be altered to convey a sense of urgency.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In recent years, major networks such as NBC have begun using "Special Report" tickers for select breaking stories during regularly scheduled programming, lessening the need for cut-ins. </p><p>Depending on the story being followed, the report may last only a few minutes, or continue for multiple hours or days. If coverage continues for an extended amount of time, the network may integrate analysis about the story through analysts in-studio, via phone, <a href="/wiki/Communications_satellite" title="Communications satellite">satellite</a>, <a href="/wiki/Broadband" title="Broadband">broadband</a> (B-GAN) or through other means of communication.

To be able to report on current affairs despite this, many networks either employ full-time (typical in the United States) or contact freelance (typical in the United Kingdom) experts and pundits to be "talking heads". These people have either experience or expertise and are considered reliable by the general public. They have been common on television, and can also appear on radio.<sup id="cite_ref-Mance_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mance-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In the United States, the competitive nature of commercial networks has allowed for pundits to develop their skills and dedicate themselves to respond to breaking news with analysis in a variety of fields, most often political. These talking heads can be paid millions to work exclusively for a network. In the United Kingdom, TV talking heads are sometimes considered filler who talk around the subject. They are not full-time employees of networks and are not always paid – when they are it is a flat fee for the slot – and will be urgently called in to discuss the relevant field (in which they will typically work full-time). Pundits in the UK have said that they do it because they deem it important to get expert coverage of breaking news, and because it can put their field (and themselves) in the spotlight. Research has suggested that talking heads in the United States are more likely to be partial than talking heads in the United Kingdom.<sup id="cite_ref-Mance_7-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mance-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2015, the <i><a href="/wiki/Financial_Times" title="Financial Times">Financial Times</a></i> suggested that with modern technological developments broadening news coverage, and with networks opting to show "livelier" non-expert comments from social media more, the need for talking heads may be shrinking.<sup id="cite_ref-Mance_7-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Mance-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Radio">Radio</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Breaking_news&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Radio"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>National news that is broadcast over a <a href="/wiki/Radio_network" title="Radio network">radio network</a> requires constant monitoring by station employees to allow the network coverage to air, although many stations will take a signal sent by the network and break into programming immediately.
