Be careful with the usability here.  It's often better to speed the
text up if possible because users often complain that these scrolling
text things are rather slow.   Also what works well is having 2 lines
scroll independently (better in opposite directions),  as again, users
often say they like the choice of one or more things to read (see
Blomberg news!) It's often easier to display the text quite small to
squeeze things in.

JavaScript can be used, see technique here:
