In 2015, the Financial Times suggested that with modern technological developments broadening news coverage, and with networks opting to show “livelier” non-expert comments from social media more, the need for talking heads may be shrinking. Pundits in the UK have said that they do it because they deem it important to get expert coverage of breaking news, and because it can put their field (and themselves) in the spotlight. In the United States, the competitive nature of commercial networks has allowed for pundits to develop their skills and dedicate themselves to respond to breaking news with analysis in a variety of fields, most often political.

Before 24-hour news networks existed, programming interruptions were restricted to extremely urgent news, such as for the assassination of U.S. Examples of early news bulletins in the Golden Age of Radio include fictionalized versions in the 1938 radio drama The War of the Worlds and coverage of the attack on Pearl Harbor, which was also the first television news bulletin, reported on stations in New York and Pennsylvania.
