Starting with the August 6, 2007 update, News Channel shows a news ticker in the Wii Menu. However, not visiting the channel for a period of some time will result in the ticker not appearing, until the channel is viewed. A December 20, 2007 PAL region update increased the number of news feeds to the Channel, sourced from a larger number of news resources and agencies, providing more news that is available per country.
