Scrolling message

Hi I hope someone can help/advise me,
I want to put an announcement on an external monitor, a type of scrolling banner. Could anyone tell me what type of programme I would need to do this.
Thanks in advance
Larry

    If you're not using the computer for anything else, just set the Marquee screensaver in Windows. Right click your desktop, properties, screen saver, Marquee, and set it up as you want it.
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    If this is a long-term thing you might like to look at using a Raspberry Pi or similar near-embedded device to power it, cheaper than dedicating a whole PC.
