Could you build this?

Partial The macOS ticker UI is straightforward to vibe-code, but live scores, rankings, and TV listings need a reliable data feed. Public endpoints can be unofficial and fragile, and licensed sports data is expensive.

What it would actually take: The app needs a native macOS frontend, such as a Swift/AppKit ticker window with a polling or push data layer and local caching. The hard piece is a dependable, legally usable live data source for scores, AP rankings, and broadcast channels, which may require a licensed provider or a resilient scraper with fallbacks. Logo and TV-data licensing should be checked before distribution.
