Another major development is the airing of breaking news, live action as it happens from the hub of action. Breaking news is not restricted to covering social, political or economic happenings but has extended to the world of sports. Sports breaking news is fast becoming a frequent feature of most of these news channels who focus on finding the complete lowdown on the sports action.
