MySpaceTV shows will soon be available on television and DVD’s elsewhere aside from the United States as MySpace owner’s very own daughter promises to help its distribution. Elizabeth Murdoch, through her company Shine Group is set on making MySpace a media platform that will set it apart from rival Facebook.

Despite the challenges facing the Web TV market brought about by the prolonged U.S. writers strike and the lackluster performance of MySpaceTV’s previous take on Web TV broadcasting via its “Quarterlife” show, Shine Group still believes that since Web TV is still a work in progress, MySpace will soon get its time in the Web TV market.

For the first venture of the Shine Group backed MySpace TV, the legendary horror film “Beyond the Rave” which is a UK co-production deal, will debut on MySpaceTV on April 17. The show will be aired in four to five minute installments.
