https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_ticker

            A news ticker (sometimes called a crawler, crawl, slide, 
zipper, ticker tape, or chyron) is a horizontal or vertical (depending 
on a language's writing system) text-based display either in the form of 
a graphic that typically resides in the lower third of the screen space 
on a television station or network (usually during news programming) or 
as a long, thin scoreboard-style display seen around the facades of some 
offices or public buildings dedicated to presenting headlines or minor 
pieces of news.
            It is an evolution of the ticker tape, a continuous paper 
print-out of stock quotes from a printing telegraph which was mainly 
used in stock exchanges before the advance of technology in the 1960s.


----------- the 1st Sentence is TOO long...

              >>> or vertical (depending on a language's writing system)

          That's  really  stupid.  ------ reminds me of PTD.
