BBC Alerts
BBC Alerts was a free-to-use desktop software package issued by the BBC (but developed by Ltd.) that allows users to see news as it happens on a scrolling desktop news ticker or as a pop-up alert every hour. Users can customise what news topics they are interested in.[1]
On 30 March 2011, BBC announced they would close the service within weeks.[2]
