COLD SPRING, N.Y. - Sports fanatics will soon be able to fuel up on the latest scores while fueling up their cars. Sports news and information service SportsTicker has signed a content agreement with PointMedia Corp., which is rolling out a line of entertainment and e-commerce kiosks at gas pumps.

Under the agreement, scores for completed major league sports events and some in-progress scores will be made available to PointMedia's PointTV service. SportsTicker provides scores and information for ESPN.com, Yahoo!, and CNNSI.
