New England Cable News (NECN) is a regional 24-hour cable news television network owned and operated by NBCUniversal (as part of the NBC Owned Television Stations division) serving the New England region of the United States.

Its main studios are located on Wells Avenue in Newton, Massachusetts (near Boston) with sister NBC O&O WBTS-LD (channel 8), but operates several news bureaus in the New England area, including Manchester, New Hampshire; Hartford, Connecticut; Worcester, Massachusetts; Portland, Maine; and Burlington, Vermont.

Breaking news, interchangeably termed latebreaking news and also known as a special report or special coverage or news bulletin, is a current issue that broadcasters feel warrants the interruption of scheduled programming and/or current news in order to report its details.

Its use is also assigned to the most significant story of the moment or a story that is being covered live.

It could be a story that is simply of wide interest to viewers and has little impact otherwise.

Many times, breaking news is used after the news organization has already reported on the story.

When a story has not been reported on previously, the graphic and phrase "Just In" is sometimes used instead.

Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the state of the atmosphere for a given location.

Human beings have attempted to predict the weather informally for millennia, and formally since the nineteenth century.

Weather forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data about the current state of the atmosphere at a given place and using scientific understanding of atmospheric processes to project how the atmosphere will change.

Traffic reporting is the near real-time distribution of information about road conditions such as traffic congestion, detours, and traffic collisions.

The reports help drivers anticipate and avoid traffic problems.

Traffic reports, especially in cities, may also report on major delays to mass transit that does not necessarily involve roads.

In addition to periodic broadcast reports, traffic information can be transmitted to GPS units, smartphones, and personal computers.

Weather is the state of the atmosphere, to the degree that it is hot or cold, wet or dry, calm or stormy, clear or cloudy.

Most weather phenomena occur in the lowest level of the atmosphere, the troposphere, just below the stratosphere.

Weather refers to day-to-day temperature and precipitation activity, whereas climate is the term for the averaging of atmospheric conditions over longer periods of time.

When used without qualification, "weather" is generally understood to mean the weather of Earth.
