Chyron

So the topic of chyrons streaming over Donald Trump Jr. meeting with a Russian lawyer led to:

Chyron-
/ˈkīrän/ noun

an electronically generated caption superimposed on a television or movie screen.

a text-based graphic overlay displayed at the bottom of a television screen or film frame, as closed captioning or the crawl of a newscast.

Origin of chyron
after Chyron Corporation, the manufacturer of a broadcast graphics generator

I'd just heard it referred to as word streaming. huh. Interesting
