Question
I am looking for an old movie that I saw on tv. It was done like a news show when a disaster or potential disaster is happening. I thought the title may have been "Breaking News" or News Bulletin". It was about a nuclear bomb. New news man was similar to Walter Cronkite. It was handled the same way that the news media would handle things like that. They would break into the regular show with updates, they would have discussions others in the news room and they would show  reporters on the scene. Do you know what the name is?

Answer
I believe you're thinking of the 1983 TV-movie called "Special Bulletin."  Here's the Internet Movie Database page on it:

I think it's available on VHS, but if you're looking for a DVD dub, please email me directly at brad@classicmovies.org and I'll see what I can find.
