news crawl
TV text stream
A news crawl is the scrolling text that moves across the bottom of a television screen during broadcasts, displaying headlines, stock prices, weather alerts, or breaking news.
Also called a ticker or news ticker, it became standard on cable news channels in the early 2000s: I caught the score on the news crawl.
