BBC News Ticker Widget

Myself and kam spent lot of time together trying to get this working after the News Ticker.We realised few mistakes we made in the past and try to deliver some of it in this new widget.
BBC News Ticker Widget uses the platform set by News Ticker but it differs in couple of aspects
1)Only one instance of the widget is best suited for this app as the news source is only BBC
2)You can now read the news/description/extended description whenevr you like by clicking on + icon/logo and you dont have to visit ther website if you are not that interested in that particular news.
3)The BBC News Ticker has very extended configuration options where you can specify if you want alert(just notification OR notification with sound OR notification with vibrate OR everything),site selection(BBC news/sports/world news),feed refresh interval etc.

We have much bigger plans for the widgets and we are working very hard to realise our/your dreams.Till that time enjoy the widget and pld do send me your feedback.
here are some of the screenshots
