News Aggregater of sorts

There is a website that my company uses that updates information about 3 specific things throughout the day. We use the information from 1 of them and what we are wanting to do is pull this information as it is added to their site and add it to a page of our own to view easier. Is this even possible? Can anyone point me in the direction of setting this up? It is all text that we want to pull.

Pick a language (e.g. Perl). Find an HTTP library for it (e.g. LWP). Fetch the page and run it through an HTTP parser (e.g. HTML::TreeBuilder). Pull out the bits you want and shove them into a template (e.g. TT) then dump to a file. Stick the program in cron or Windows Scheduler.
