Broadcast News – What’s Happening Right Now

When something breaks on TV, radio or online, you want to know fast. That’s what broadcast news is all about – delivering the story as it unfolds. At Daily Herald Scope we pull together the most important headlines from South Africa and the world, so you don’t have to chase multiple channels.

Whether you’re at home, in the car or on a coffee break, the goal is the same: get the facts, understand the impact, and move on with your day. Below we cover easy ways to catch live updates, the tools you need, and a few must‑watch moments coming up this week.

How to Get Real‑Time Broadcast Alerts

First, set up alerts on your phone. The Daily Herald app lets you pick categories – politics, sports, entertainment – and sends a push notification the second a story goes live. It’s faster than opening a browser and scrolling through a feed.

If you prefer radio, tune to 101.3 FM for the morning news roundup. They repeat the top stories every half hour, so you won’t miss a bit even if you’re driving.

Social media is another shortcut. Follow @DailyHeraldScope on Twitter and turn on ‘Latest Tweets’ instead of ‘Top Tweets’. The timeline shows breaking news in the order it’s posted, which mirrors the broadcast schedule.

For TV lovers, the free-to-air channel 24‑hour news (Channel 9) offers a live ticker at the bottom of the screen. The ticker pulls the same headlines we publish, so you see a consistent message across platforms.

Finally, consider a smart speaker. Just ask, “What’s the latest broadcast news?” and the device reads the top story from Daily Herald Scope. It’s handy when your hands are busy.
