A news anchor is in the midst of some dull story when they're handed a stack of papers from off-screen. They immediately turn their attention to this new story, often beginning with the Stock Phrase: "This Just In..." The new story is not necessarily plot relevant in any sense and may just be there as a gag. Sometimes seen as "Breaking News" on twenty-four hour news networks. Older programs might use "We Interrupt This Program..." or "This was just handed to me...". Often seen in Kent Brockman News or as a buildup to Deadline News. Sub-Trope of We Interrupt This Program. Compare Extra! Extra! Read All About It!, which is this for newspapers and Breaking News Interruption, when it's the broadcast of a non-news television program that gets interrupted. |

Happens twice on Queer as Folk (US): The first time is during the mayoral election right at the end of season 3: The second time is in season 5, when Brian is on his way to the airport and there's a radio announcement about the bombing of Babylon (which he is the owner of at that point), prompting him to order the driver to turn around. |

Fallout 4 begins in Boston on October 23rd, 2077 with the TV tuned to the news, which is reporting on some things going on in the Fallout world, like the war with China. Then the robotic butler calls you back to the living room where the anchor reports that a global nuclear exchange has begun, right before a "Please Stand By" message chillingly appears. This is a good time to RUN! | |
