news broadcasts

Aired current events

News broadcasts are scheduled radio or television programs presenting current events, typically featuring anchors who introduce reported segments.

The format combines live presentation with pre-recorded field reports, interviews, and footage.

We watched the evening news broadcast for election results.

The term distinguishes these programs from print journalism or informal news sharing.
