This only happens after the breaking news has occurred.
Will fix at a later date.

A picture says a thousand words:

Sometimes pressing 'l' won't work when there is breaking news in the ticker.

Running bbcli in Python 3 gets us this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/bbcli", line 7, in <module>
    from bbcli.core import live
  File "/usr/lib/python3.4/site-packages/bbcli/core.py", line 158
    print "Keyboard interrupt received, quitting gracefully"

Need to get around doing this soon before 2020

It was inevitable, but the BBC ticker endpoint now shows no more breaking news.

Their newer implementation of the breaking news ticker is hidden from plain sight on their website. It only shows up when one breaking news event occurs then vanishes into the frontend abyss.

I have started to look at alternatives of implementing the breaking news ticker to bbcli

• Twitter
• Scraping
• Email
• ...

You can see what the bbcli ticker used to look like with breaking news.
