Bridge // Key Features

What you can do with Always breaking.

Three capabilities that make this integration essential for your digital signage network.

Breaking News // 01

Breaking news priority display for urgent stories

When CNN publishes breaking news, the integration can trigger a priority alert on your screens. Breaking stories override regular content rotation and display prominently until the alert is dismissed or expires.

Breaking news hits your screens as fast as it hits the CNN homepage.

Automatic breaking news detection and priority display

Adjustable alert duration and dismissal rules

Optional audio alert tone for attention-critical environments
