::Mental note to make friends with DirecTV subcribers::

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Top U.S. satellite television operator DirecTV Group Inc. said it plans to launch its first original programming series.

The weekly show, "CD USA," will debut in January and will be available exclusively to its 15 million U.S. subscribers. It will feature live performances by popular music artists including the Goo Goo Dolls, Sean Paul, Ben Harper and David Grey.

CD USA will also feature emerging artists from the MySpace.com Internet network.

The launch marks one of the first programming ventures that fosters cooperation among companies controlled by media conglomerate News Corp., which bought MySpace.com this year and also owns a controlling stake in DirecTV.

News Corp. is also developing new cable networks that will be offered on DirecTV but will also be available on rival cable television systems.

Later this year, DirecTV, also plan to offer its subscribers new digital recorder set-top boxes using NDS Group Plc technology. NDS is another News Corp. affiliate.

CD USA will be produced by Blaze Television, which already produces a version for the British market, "CD UK."

CD UK is available on Britain's ITV Plc broadcast television network

Yeah, I read that today on my Google alert. Don't know what that means for those of us without Direct TV. Hope it's something that comes on some other cable channel! Cross your fingers!
