I am mainly interested in real time: Dowjones, BusinessWire, PR Newswire, MarketWire, Reuters and other news with fast search by ticker function. Ty
If you want streaming headlines in real time: http://www.financialchat.com/help/mirc.asp Then once on MIrc channel go to #headlines. No search by ticker function though. Yahoo provides that service for 10 bucks a month I believe. http://billing.finance.yahoo.com/realtime_quotes/signup?.src=quote&.refer=nb I use MIrc together with squawk box to trade futs. Good enough for me, but stock traders might want a more robust platform for stocks (like Reuters Bridgechannel).
http://www.tradethenews.com/ They have a free trial for a week. They appear to be really good. Although I can't justify the price right now. They charge approximately $130/month.
Are those streaming news in MIRC DJ and BW PR and primezone, marketwire? Other news 95% of the time will be worthless

I actually was going to sign up for their news/squawk service until I found out I wouldn't be able to cancel my subscription online. And then I did some search about them on ET and it seems some people got welshed by them pretty good. I've never used the service and I'm sure a lot of people are happy with them but given what I know and heard I wouldn't use it.
