On occasion, the broadcasts of television programs will be interrupted. Mainly this is some sort of Emergency Broadcast, but more often than not, it's a piece of breaking news that is being reported. The channel will usually cut into whatever show is playing with coverage by their news arm of whatever event is happening. Another variation on this trope is running a news banner during the program announcing a piece of breaking news without interrupting the actual show, a common sight on Japanese networks. This trope is frequently used by major broadcast networks, and is rarely, if ever, done by non-news cable networks. In the digital era, mobile news app push notifications tend to have this effect. Compare to Commercial Pop-Up, when a channel uses a pop-up to advertise a show. When a news program is interrupted for breaking news, that's This Just In!. |

On June 2, 2020, Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. interrupted re-runs of The Casagrandes and PAW Patrol to show the Kids' Bill of Rights for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. However, an hour before this, a screen with the text "I Can't Breathe" (which was meant to air on other Viacom networks) accidentally aired for a few seconds before a rerun of The Loud House and a new episode of Hey Duggee. | |

Himitsu no Akko-chan: The premiere of the episode "Ganmo's Perfect Rakugo Theater" of the 1988 incarnation was pre-empted by ongoing news coverage of Emperor Hirohito's death (which all channels in the country ran non-stop coverage of for at least a week). The original series had episode 29, "The Lizard Woman Has Come!", pre-empted by news coverage of the Apollo 11 moon landing. It would air a week later in order to make up for the interruption. |

A presidential address by Barack Obama pre-empted ABC's original December 1, 2009 airdate for Prep & Landing. As a result, the special was rescheduled to air a week later in the slot that the annual 1-hour presentation of A Charlie Brown Christmas held, which resulted in the latter event being canceled for the year. | |

A planned March 16, 1986 airing of Robin Hood (1973) on ABC had to be postponed due to President Reagan's address about the Communist threat in Nicaragua starting at 8:00pm Eastern, an hour into the showing. As a result, The Disney Sunday Movie had to be shortened from two hours to one that week, instead opting to show Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree and three Donald Duck cartoons. | |

A December 1993 broadcast of the DuckTales episode "A Whale of a Bad Time" in Hungary was cut to announce the death of the then-serving prime minister. The event confused children across the country and became a defining generational moment — they were eventually dubbed the "DuckTales Generation" and became the focus of numerous articles and cultural analyses. | |

Radio stations (including popular music stations) play sombre and/or classical music. For example, when Princess Diana died, radio stations played light music (e.g. the Twin Peaks theme) for the entire morning, with a repeating message (from Independent Radio News for the commercial stations) as explanation, this continued for two or three days, and even when normal programming resumed it seemed that Britpop had not survived the interlude, as many stations had used the downtime as an opportunity to replace the tracks they had in rotation, largely supplanting the genre's dominance. | |

In UK, the above situation was inverted on February 23, 1983, amid significant public and media interest in a storyline in Coronation Street involving longtime character Deirdre Barlow's affair with charming local businessman Mike Baldwin. When that evening's episode ended with Deirdre announcing her intention to stay with her husband Ken, the news was projected on the scoreboard during a Manchester United-Arsenal football game: "Ken and Deirdre reunited. Ken 1 - Mike 0". | |

During the premiere of the Futurama episode "War is the H-Word" on FOX, some affiliates on the East Coast cut off the last part of the episode due to a news report about the 2000 presidential election. Inconveniently, this was right after we learn that Farnsworth couldn't disarm the bomb that would destroy the entire world if Bender says "ass", then Bender says, "What's the point of living if I can't say 'ass'? Uh oh..." leaving the fate of the world unknown at the time the episode aired. | |

Towards the end of a broadcast of The Proud Family on ABC Kids, an ABC News Special Report on Hurricane Charley interrupted the end of show. This is to the point George Stephanopoulos actually tells the children watching to get their parents to come into the room because of the subject matter of the report (it probably didn't work, as most kids probably changed the channel in anger). After the Special Report ended, the network joined Power Rangers: Dino Thunder already in progress. | |

YouTube has archived airchecks of the moment the news broke on various radio stations. A few examples: WLW in Cincinnati had just begun a program of Broadway show music during which Li'l Abner was to be featured; KNX in Los Angeles aired its first bulletin during the West Coast feed of the Arthur Godfrey show (which was prerecorded); and WTIC in Hartford, Connecticut aired its first bulletin during a call-in household-hints program (where recipes for Thanksgiving, just six days away, were the main topic of conversation), which left one caller so stunned she couldn't continue and had to tearfully hang up. In Dallas itself, KLIF, a leading, top-rated pop music station, interrupted the song "I Have a Boyfriend" by The Chiffons to report only that shots had been fired at JFK's motorcade, with no word on any injuries. As did most stations, KLIF, after airing its initial reports, then returned to normal programming as the newsroom waited for further bulletins to come in. Some who were on the air at the time later recalled that they thought someone was playing a sick joke until they realized it was real and started either continuous news coverage (if the station was a network affiliate) or instrumental or religious music interspersed with news bulletins (if the station was an independent). As should be expected, the initial bulletins had some errors, like saying that the bullets tore through the limousine's detachable bubble top (after some morning rain cleared out, it was decided to not put the top on the car so Kennedy could ride in the open), and that Lyndon Johnson had possibly been hit in the arm by one of the bullets and was going in for treatment at Parkland Hospital alongside Kennedy and Texas Governor John Connally (Johnson was unharmed, but instead went inside the hospital for a closed-door meeting with Kennedy's staff and the Secret Service to plan out their next moves in the event Kennedy died). | |

Of the major BBC channels, BBC1 and BBC News were taking the story of the Queen's downturn in health live, and so the lowering of the Union Flag shown live on TV became the de facto announcement of the Queen's death. Immediately after that shot, BBC1 and BBC News, as well as BBC Parliament and BBC Alba (which had been showing an episode of The Adventures of Tintin) switched to BBC News' announcer delivering the initial announcement. They were joined a minute later by BBC Scotland (which inexplicably dumped out of the announcement soon after to go back to regular programming briefly). BBC 2 was airing a sporting event, and did not pick up the news until the BBC as a whole interrupted programming for the official news. And even then, the Welsh-language BBC waited until the program being broadcasted at that time completed to break into Welsh-language coverage of the Queen's death, roughly 5 minutes after the rest of the BBC had already started coverage. Averted by BBC Three and Four, as when they started up for the evening, both channels were suspended, replaced by a slide telling viewers to switch over to BBC One for an important news announcement. | |

In Japan, the vast majority of the TV channels are part of big conglomerates, so they don't interrupt their programming so much as direct the viewer to a 24-hour news channel owned by the same conglomerate. They do this with banners called "telops", which often include a brief description of what just happened. Sometimes the interruption really is important, other times it's quite inane (e.g. Fuji TV announcing that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba: The Movie - Mugen Train had become the highest-grossing film of all time in Japan). A few are particularly notable: In 2016, the Aikatsu! anime was interrupted with a telop announcing the start of retired baseball player Kazuhiro Kiyohara's trial for drug possession. Several parents complained of children upset by the news (especially give the highly taboo state of recreational drug use in Japan). Also complaining were the show's adult fanbase and the director himself. TV Tokyo is known for its extensive use of telops, which have a bizarre tendency to coincidentally relate to whatever is being shown on TV at the time. For example, an announcement of the 2004 Niigata earthquake happened to be shown during a travel program about the region. Observers have called it "the Legend of TV Tokyo". NTV also makes use of telops a lot, but doesn't have as much luck compared to TV Tokyo when it comes to aligning with the theme of the show that's airing at the moment. Most infamously, in 2006, they interrupted Shoten (which is supposed to be a comedy show) with a telop announcing finding the body of a 11yo boy who had gone missing the month before. (The telop can be seen here at the 9:42 mark) The NHK Plus print of the second episode of Love Live! Superstar!! retains an earthquake warning that occurs halfway through the episode — which is odd, as most programs (on this and other streaming services in Japan) will remove such warnings before putting them up. The only real exceptions where they will actually interrupt programming are big news events, usually natural disasters (e.g. the 1995 Kobe earthquake, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake) or the deaths of important people (e.g. the death of Emperor Hirohito in 1989, the assassination of ex-Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in 2022). But even then, the kids' shows (and for whatever reason there are many in Japan) will continue airing so as not to expose the younger audience to alarming news stories. After the Tohoku earthquake, it took Japanese networks as long as a week to resume normal programming — and when it came back, all advertising was pulled and replaced with public service announcements. The public hated it and asked for the commercials back, particularly because the government didn't have a wide range of these ads so the same ones kept repeating ad nauseam. |

On July 20, 1969, a young singer-songwriter named James Taylor was performing a set at the Newport Folk Festival in Rhode Island, and had just finished playing his newly written song "Fire and Rain", when organizers stopped the festival to announce to the crowd that the Apollo 11 astronauts had landed on the moon. Taylor never got to finish his set because the festival instead showed the historic live broadcast of Neil Armstrong setting foot on the moon. The 1969 festival was also the last in Rhode Island until the mid-80s, and Taylor didn't return to the festival until 1997. In 2015, Taylor performed an unannounced half-an-hour surprise set at the folk festival that he described on-stage as his make-up for his shortened 1969 set. | |
