What problem are they trying to solve though?
Paying human presenters.
Human presenters aren't too expensive and are quite flexible, are easily replaced and can make or break a show. Yeah, there's the novelty factor now but am not sure how long it'll take until GenAI on broadcasts will signal second rate, subpar knockoff.

well, if you owned 257 local media outlets across an area five thousand miles wide, you might have the experience and the insight to see it differently. you might identify an opportunity for innovative advancements in efficiency
Maybe we can increase the efficiency by having bots watch the automatic news, too, that way they can vote so we don't have to. With enough innovation we may live to see the first automated senator!
But then wonder why people don’t stick around…
Unless they have some info channels which ultimately don’t need any presenters in the first place.
