About this breaking news banner

Open a special report like a network: globe rings spin behind your logo, a light streak crosses the screen and BREAKING NEWS slams in.

Change the two words, add today’s date automatically or your own line, and play it from your phone before you go live.

Type the headline, show it with one tap, and update the “live updates” line as the story develops — all without touching your streaming software.
