Television news

Television news refers to the practice of disseminating current events via the media of television. News Bulletins are programmes lasting from seconds to hours that provide updates on world or regional/local news events. Television channels may provide news bulletins as part of a regular programme that is aired daily or more often at standard times. Less often, television shows may be interrupted or replaced by "news flashes" to provide news updates on current events of great importance or sudden events of great importance.

A newscast typically consists of the coverage of various news events and other information, either produced locally by a radio or television station, or by a broadcast network. It may also include such additional material as sports coverage, weather forecasts, traffic reports, commentary and other material that the broadcaster feels is relevant to their audience.

Newscast is also a newspaper formerly published by Al-Qaida.
