We developed an application to reproduce CG talk show automatically from the Internet forum. First, actual broadcasted talk show on TV is analyzed to obtain rules and statistical data of camera switching behavior. The result of analysis is implemented in the application, then CG animation is created using TV program Making Language (TVML). The application works in Unity game engine with CG characters speaking in synthesized voices. We successfully enables a user to "watch" the text-based forum.
