$this->widget('ext.bbcnewsticker.EBBCNewsTicker',
			array('items'=>array(
			               'Yii Framework is great',
			               'Download from here'=>'http://www.yiiframework.com/download/',
                                        ...
			               )
			 )
);

All options:

$this->widget('ext.bbcnewsticker.EBBCNewsTicker',
			array('items'=>array(

                                        ...
			               )
                              'wrapperTag'=>'div', //if you want a wrapper around the newsticker
                              'wrapperHtmlOptions'=>array('class'=>'mynewsticker'),
                              'options'=>array(
		'tickerRate' => 100, // time gap between display of each letter (ms)
		'startDelay' => 100, // delay before first run of the ticker (ms)
		'loopDelay' => 2000, //time for which full text of each item is shown at end of print-out (ms)
		'placeHolder1' => ' |', // character placeholder shown on even loops
		'placeHolder2' => '_', // character placeholder shown on odd loops
		'controls' => false,  // show resume / stop controls (see below for the markup added)
		'ownControls' => false,  // use own markup for controls (sets controls = true)
		'stopOnHover' => true,  // trigger the stop action on hovering over the links
		'resumeOffHover' => false  // trigger the resume action on mouseout from the links. NB the links must be block display for this to work reliably with stopOnHover
