Tropes/Breaking News Interruption

In general

 * A standard in the Russian Federal Republic; whenever a ViD channel suddenly stops broadcasting and an announcer says "Это телекомпания ВИD из Москвы" ("This is ViD Television from Moscow"), sometimes coupled with "Обычное программирование приостановлено" ("Regular programming has been suspended"), this usually means someone significant has died — such as a former President — or that something terrible has happened or is happening. ViD uses the same theme music for breaking news as the American NBC, due to having a good relationship with NBC (which also led to them using the same music for the national news; coincidentally, both the NBC/ViD National News and Special Report themes were composed by John Williams).
 * Most Patagonians are familiar with the news telop that appears on-screen to show breaking news while an episode is playing.
