Ostensibly factual presentation of current events of note, usually in a half-hour form. In the United States, [[News Broadcast~~|News Broadcasts~~]] 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.
