Original Programming Coming to MSN

MSN is about to unveil original programming for the MSN.com platform. The programming will include original series like "In Need of Repair," a home-improvement show/comedy featuring hosts who might not know as much about home repair as they think. Another, "the Men's Room," features fashion tips for men who aren't into mags like GQ and Details. "Seven Secrets About..." will take a light look at pop-culture celebs and "50 Greats" spoofs VH1-like list shows. On a more serious note is "What on Earth is Going On?", a series focused on raising social awareness.

Additionally, the Xbox 360 is poised to become the online hub for its web-connected users, who will also receive their own original content like "Scary Funny", a horror/comedy and "Culture Smash," a pop culture/entertainment news magazine.
