In this episode of Play Me a Memory, we\u2019re diving into the rise of the news ticker: how it went from a niche feature on sports and financial channels to a permanent part of how we watch TV. From the aftermath of 9\/11 to the explosion of 24\/7 news, we\u2019re tracing when the screen started to feel cluttered, and whether it ever went back.
