"And now for the weather..."

Face melts and morphs into distorted illegible weather map background.

  Can’t wait to see their version of fox with fake blonde porn stars in lingerie talking about how capital gains cuts make them so wet, daddy.

I'm not at all sure that the technology is there today (which the guy even says himself).

But I do believe that there will come a point in time where it is, if it is not today.

However, from a business standpoint, I think that the problem in making a compelling personalized newsfeed is less generating personalized video and audio and more in building a profile and determining what content the individual wants to see.

Thing is, Google is already in profiling people and building personalized news recommendations, with Google News. And they have a lot more data on people and probably the individual reading the thing to use to feed any algorithms to generate recommendations. So I think that it's probably gonna be difficult to enter that field.

That being said, I dunno. There's https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naked_News, which has the gimmick of offering a nude anchor doing the news. I remember thinking, some fifteen years back when it came out, "that won't last", but it's still around today. Maybe it's possible that there's room for a company to specialize in the presentation of the news, that there is room to really add value in how news is presented.
