Somehow, I suspect this is just a transition stage to an A.I.
weathercast service. Which reminds me of the short story with a

Trust me on this audio clip...
ok, it's the telco/weather bureau recording
of the weather report way back in ... 1961 [a]
www.dburstein.com/audio/1961-weather.wav
about 12 megs
[a] my father, who was a scribe/copy editor/everythinger
at a Modest Metropolitan Newspaper had one of the
early, semi portable, reel-to-reel tape recorders
using something like 12 AA batteries.
He had a suction cup inductance coil which he
placed on phone handsets to record the calls...
