BreakingNews Introduces Smart TV News Ticker

The msnbc.com startup makes its first foray into Web television

Obsessive news fiends had reason to rejoice Tuesday (April 17) afternoon as BreakingNews announced the launch of its new TV app, which will be coming to Internet-connected Samsung televisions.

The premise is simple: Much like ESPN’s BottomLine or the crawling tickers on most major cable news sites, BreakingNews’ alerts ticker will pop up when important news comes across the wires no matter what channel you’re watching. The ticker can be customized to appear sporadically as bigger stories break or, for the serious news junkies, it can be a permanent fixture on every program from SpongeBob to NCIS.
