I don't know of anyone working on something like this. One thing I'm
planning (along with a load of other stuff) is the ability to subscribe
to some key phrases and any programmes that match those words are
emailed to you on a daily/weekly basis. But that's something different
to what you're looking at and, TBH, with my work load at present...
