There doesn't seem to be anything for iOS to do this. I know you said not to suggest Android apps, but for the people who are reading this thread who do have Android devices and wondered the same thing, Dashboard Cast seems perfect.
If you want to make one for my app Dashboard Cast I'd be more than happy to see what you can come up with! Send me a PM if your interested. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rir.dashboardcast
You can try dashboard cast, its pretty neat and very customizable. I played with it a while ago, but couldn't find any real use for myself.

I am going to shamelessly plug my app, Dashboard Cast : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rir.dashboardcast

You might want to take a look at this project for ideas on how to do it better...
Another option: If you have a screen with an HDMI in, plug in a chromecast and use an app like Dashboard cast
There isn't one that I've seen. However, while not ideal, you might be able to use this Chromecast app as a workaround: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rir.dashboardcast&hl=en
I haven't tried it on ATV, but I imagine it would work like any other cast app.
Yes. I have a similar setup (HDMI with CEC). Use Tasker to run Dashboard Cast at whatever time you want. Very cutomizable. Mine is set up with the time, date, weather, my Google calenda events, traffic/commute time (Google maps), and a scrolling RSS feed of my local paper pics and all. I think you can cast an audio source too but I couldn't get that to work.
Love it. Note you must have CC plugged into wall and not USB for this to work!

Edit: Well hot diggity damn. It had been a while since I looked at the settings in that app. They've added an alarm function built in now. And the audio is now working for me! Tasker no longer required to accomplish this task!
There are apps that can do this.
I think one of them is Dashboard Cast. I don't have any experience with it, but it either has an automatic feature or Tasker would help out with getting one setup.
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but there is an app for your Android phone called Dashboard Cast from the play store.

You can check out my app, Dashboard Cast. You can create a dashboard, including an audio widget, which allows you to play an audio stream or file. I just released the alarm functionality this week. You can schedule alarms and it will automatically start casting your dashboard to your Chromecast device at the specified time. For the moment the audio widget only supports direct links audio streams or audio files. However, I will be developing a way to get itunes's podcasts shortly. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

It does traffic. Even tells me my commute time to work.
Another way to go, inspired by /u/devindudeman would be to use a chromecast stick and this app to configure your own dashboard.

It seems that's pretty much what Dashboard Cast is. Play Store link
Does this link work? It shows up for me.

Dashboard cast. Weather, route driving or public transport, RSS feed, media player, alarm clock auto start.

This is a nice app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rir.dashboardcast
Assuming it supports HDMI, use Chromecast and the app Dashboard Cast should do what you want.
Dashboard Cast might be overkill.
