Broadcasters have the option to customize their video or radio channel pages using News Ticker feature. This feature allows broadcasters to share important news with their channel viewers and listeners, to advertise events, to promote external websites like their own blogs or Facebook pages.
News Ticker is displayed on all types of players (Flash or HTML5) and can be viewed by all your audience. It is also displayed on your channels on WordPress site.
