Yahoo News ticker for digital signage
The Yahoo News app transforms digital displays into information hubs that provide headlines without requiring audience attention shifts to mobile devices. Reception areas use news feeds to reduce perceived wait times, while corporate environments display industry-specific news to keep teams informed of market developments. Implementation requires selecting your preferred news category, setting headline transition timing, and customizing visual elements to match your environment. The feed refreshes automatically throughout the day, ensuring content remains relevant without staff intervention. Many organizations report increased dwell time and positive visitor feedback when implementing news content alongside promotional messaging.

FAQ
Can I filter out certain types of news content?
Yes. The app offers distinct topic categories that function as content filters. For business environments, many users select Finance news to focus on market updates, while retail locations often choose Entertainment or Top Stories. This categorical selection ensures the displayed content remains appropriate for your specific audience and environment without requiring manual headline screening.
How current are the headlines displayed on screen?
The app automatically pulls the latest available headlines from Yahoo's news feeds, typically reflecting stories published within the last few hours. Unlike scheduled content that requires manual refreshing, these feeds update throughout the day as new stories become available, ensuring your screens display current information even during rapidly developing news situations.
Can I customize how the news headlines appear visually?
Yes. The app allows you to adjust headline color, summary text appearance, and background color to match your brand environment or complement existing screen content. These visual customizations help integrate news content naturally within your broader digital signage strategy while maintaining readability and visual hierarchy.
Is it possible to display news alongside other content types?
Yes. Using Fugo's Design Studio, you can position the Yahoo News feed as one element within a multi-zone layout. Common implementations include dedicating approximately 25-30% of screen space to news headlines while using the remaining area for promotional messages, company announcements, or complementary information like weather and time displays.
