I seriously wish that was true though. How awesome would that be?

It doesn't even seem that far fetched. The networks can play ads online that are more focused to the viewer. There is much profit to be had for the first service that displays network TV online for free with targeted advertising.

In most computing circles that would be known as spyware or adware and removed without hesitation ;)
