Ostensibly factual presentation of current events of note, usually in a half-hour form. In the United States, [[News Broadcast|News Broadcasts]]s are generally evening shows, with 6 PM and 11 PM slots being the most common; in the Central and Mountain time zones, 5PM and 10PM newscasts are the norm. Most networks provide an early-evening nationwide news feed going out live at 6:30 PM Eastern, which affiliate stations then run back-to-back with a locally-produced news program; the late-evening news is usually also a local production as well. Many stations also produce a Noon news. The UK's similar, with a "parent" news broadcast and the "regional" broadcasts immediately after on, although this is now only common on [[The BBC]] and their competitor, ITV.
 
Local news broadcasts are ''very much'' [[Serious Business]] in the industry, evidenced by the fact that no scheduled event ''ever'' preempts or even shortens the late local news: only a breaking national/world news story. If sports run long, the delayed local news is shown ''in full'' and then the network's late night offerings are pushed back along with it.
