Datascreen and News Ticker
Bloomberg was well known for using a datascreen format that occupied most of the TV screen and the camera shots.
Until 1998, Bloomberg did not have a moving ticker. Instead, it had boxes that were dedicated to world news as well as weather conditions in selected cities in addition to market data, which was confined to the bottom of the screen. This changed gradually to focus more on business news. The data screen was reformatted several times to include a moving stock ticker and accommodate new graphics.
The datascreen format was phased out in late 2007 where the programmes were seen almost in full screen with the ticker and headlines bar confined to the lower part of the screen.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or ticker:
“To have news value is to have a tin can tied to one’s tail.”
—T.E. (Thomas Edward)
“Most people aren’t appreciated enough, and the bravest things we do in our lives are usually known only to ourselves. No one throws ticker tape on the man who chose to be faithful to his wife, on the lawyer who didn’t take the drug money, or the daughter who held her tongue again and again. All this anonymous heroism.”
—Peggy Noonan (b. 1950)
