It's been a while since I last remember a break-in during the evening newscast, but it used to happen all the time during the morning shows; I remember watching the Today Show way back where they'd open the half-hour normally, mention that they were going to a special report momentarily, which would then queue the countdown and special report intro, followed by a new anchor slate. At the end of the SR, they'd mention returning to 'Today' or local programming, the SR end title card card would come up, and then it's back to normal.
