*Television news and cable news*
Television news refers to the dissemination of current events via television. "News bulletins" or "newscasts" are programs lasting from seconds to hours that provide updates on world, national, regional and local news events Television news are very image-based, showing videos of many of the events that are reported. Television channels may provide news bulletins as part of a regularly schedule news program. Less often, television shows may be interrupted or replaced by newsflashes to provide new updates on current or sudden events of great importance.
Cable news refers to channels, which are devoted to current events 24 hours a day. This format derives from CNN, which originally stood for Cable News Network in reference to the then-new phenomenon of cable television. Many other channels have since then been established such as BBC, Sky News, Al Jazeera, France 24, Fox News and many more. These are sometimes referred to as network news channels.
