Can I ask: what does constantly tracking the ticker's operations achieve? I know it's broken. You know it's broken. We all know it's broken. The BBC knows it's broken. No doubt it will (eventually!) be fixed, but I suspect that will require a bit of an overall rethink of the graphics - for which the resources probably aren't there right now. Yes, it's rubbish, but it's really small-fry in the grand scheme of things. I honestly think it's worse than rota discussion. At least that involves people!

The ticker was meant to be turned off permanently as suggested by Newswatch and an insider's tweet, but since yesterday and today we've seen the ticker returning for a significant amount of time, in a new format where the ticker text is not generated from the RSS feeds. I'd say the potential reversal of the decision to ditch the ticker is worthy of discussion to a certain extent here...
