Los Angeles - News Corp.'s (NYSE: NWS) MySpace online social network on Tuesday announced a new program that will offer recording artists the ability to record a live studio session and Q&A with the company, and offer the resulting video and audio content for sale or free distribution on MySpace.

The first artist to participate in the MySpace Transmissions program is Warner Music Group (NYSE: WMG) artist James Blunt; a video Q&A with Blunt has been made available on MySpaceTV, while five tracks recorded in the studio session are now available for purchase through MySpace Transmissions.
