Really Simple Syndication (RSS) is a technology that allows WLTX to send news content directly to your computer, PDA, or cell phone. Instead of searching for the latest headlines, the latest headlines news can be fed to you the second they are posted. |
There are several ways to access RSS feeds. Generally you will need to install a news reader program which will display your RSS Feeds much like your email program displays email or your browser displays a webpage. The news reader serves as a portal, providing a real-time interface to the feeds you select. Once a news reader is set up to access WLTX.com feeds, it will continually talk to the WLTX.com RSS feeds you selected for the latest headlines.
There are a number of free and commercial news readers available for download. A selection of news readers are listed below for most computer platforms. Many of the companies who charge for their software offer 30-day trials so you know you are getting a product you like.
