In the not so distant past we've had some discussion here on the big yellow board about how Newstalk 1010 has destroyed any value or impact in the words "Breaking News."

This is the radio station that has, on Moore than one occasion, interrupted a roundtable at five minutes to the top of the hour for "Breaking News! We have an important traffic report."

CNN has been raising the bar on what constitutes breaking news. Attached is a short video report. A positive event cascade across the broadcast industry following their lead would be logical and welcome.

Will Newstalk 1010 raise their bar too? Time will tell.
