Free News Ticker is a lightweight and very easy to understand piece of software whose main purpose resides in offering you the ability to keep updated about the latest developments in world affairs, all while entailing a minimal level of effort on your part.

The application goes through a quick setup process, after which you can launch it and it will attach to the lower or upper edge of your screen, listing the latest articles available for you to read.

Aside from the bar displaying the headlines of various articles, Free News Ticker also features a menu where you can select one of four sources, as well as increase or decrease the display speed.

The program loads information from four distinct sources, namely Yahoo Stocks, for financial information, Fox News, CNN and BBC for more general articles. While by default, Free News Ticker displays the feeds in a random order, you can click on one of the existing sources to only view information from it.

However, bear in mind that you cannot add different feeds or remove existing ones from the utility. At best, you can choose the companies whose stock market information you wish to learn, from the ‘Options’ window.

From the ‘Dock’ submenu, you can opt between displaying the bar on the top or the bottom edge of your screen, while the ‘Speed’ section lets you increase or decrease the frequency with which articles are displayed. To read an article in full, you can just click it in Free News Ticker and it will open the corresponding web page in your default browser.

To summarize, Free News Ticker is a handy and effective application that can help you keep informed about a wide range or world events, providing you with headlines from the most popular agencies, namely BBC and CNN.
