I Want my MTV

From Cynopsis.com:

"mtvU has collaborated with MSN and Boston University on a riches-to-rags comedy pilot, Roller Palace, created and produced over 15 months entirely by BU Film and Television Department students. It premiered on March 9 at Arclight Cinemas in Los Angeles, and will debut on-air and online March 20. Also, BU Sophomore and mtvU development deal recipient Andrew Karlsruher covered the entire production process for the mtvU reality series, Breaking the Sitcom. Episodes of the series are airing now on mtvU and mtvU Über, at mtvU.com."

Also:

Showtime Networks Inc. and the Smithsonian Institution have created Smithsonian Networks. Smithsonian On Demand, the venture's first programming service, will offer branded, original content from the Smithsonian. The network will develop, launch, and operate Smithsonian-branded television programming, including original docs and event coverage for distribution to multi-channel video distributors and new media platforms.

And:

ABC's Him and Us about a British rocker and his manager, has signed Kim Cattrall as the manager, and Anthony Stewart Hall as a gay rock star. The project is exec produced by Sir Elton John.

They probably mean Anthony Steward Head of dear departed Buffy fame. What an idea, what a cast!

I don't watch tv here in England and have deliberately not signed up for digital television. But if I lived in the States I'd be the Queen of Tivo-ing.
