I hope some changes are made to the ticker when the new channel fully launches. I assume the idea is they copy and paste headlines from the website and you go on there if you want to read more, but putting things like "Ukraine war: The Moldovan enclave surrounded by pro-Russian forces" totally out of context at the bottom of the screen is just meaningless and not useful in anyway. I wonder if you even really need a ticker these days.

Yes, the fact that the ticker is seemingly based on scraping website headlines does lead to a lot of bizarre out-of-context stories on the ticker, which sort of undermines its purpose. Obviously, the switch to this system was due to some form of staffing cutback, but surely it isn't beyond the realms of technology for online story writers/editors to be able to add an alt-title for tickers etc.
