Here are two methods, supposing you don't care how long it takes for
the .load(): (the syntax needs to be checked)

var count = 0;

function myload() {
      $("#newsticker").empty().load("file.php");
      if (count++ < 66) setTimeout(myload, 30000);
}

$(document).ready(function() { myload(); });

... and if you really want to stop it after exactly 2000 seconds, you
could do:

var t;
function myload() { $("#newsticker").empty().load("file.php"); t =
setTimeout(myload, 30000); }
$(document.read(function() { myload(); setTimeout(function()
{ clearTimeout(count); console.log('cleared');}, 2000000); });
