news flashes
Urgent broadcast interruptions
News flashes are brief announcements that interrupt regular programming or appear prominently to deliver urgent breaking news.
The term evokes an era when radio and television would cut away from scheduled content to report major events as they unfolded.
We interrupt this broadcast for a news flash.
In casual speech, news flash is used sarcastically to point out something obvious: News flash: teenagers like to sleep in.
