XM and MySpace have announced the grand prize winner of their “Show Us What Ya Got!” contest: Tanya Morgan.

Selected from among the three finalists chosen by the MySpace community, Tanya Morgan (pictured below) won the chance to appear live at the Power Summit last week. They performed their original song, “Walk My Way,” at the Las Vegas event which also featured performances from artists Chamillionaire and Talib Kweli.

A re-broadcast of the industry-packed event will premiere tomorrow, October 31st at 6pm ET on RAW (ch 66).

Over 6,000 original song entries were reviewed and considered by a panel of judges which was comprised of music editors and industry artists who narrowed the submissions down to five finalists. The final three, Tanya Morgan, Metafore and Mitch Gunz, were then selected by the MySpace community to perform at The Power Summit.

The competition was hosted by Mz. Kitti from XM’s RAW. The performances were judged by XM’s DJ Xclusive of The City (ch 67) and Leo G of RAW and Dion Summers of The Heat (ch 68).

As the grand prize winner, Tanya Morgan will receive a mixtape created with a high profile DJ; the opportunity to appear as the opening act on the MySpace Secret Show; a local grassroots sniping promotional campaign; and all expense paid trip to be a guest on XM Satellite Radio and two weeks XM airplay; and a MySpace Music Feature.

In honor of Porter Wagoner, XM will be airing special programming this week as a tribute and celebration to Wagoner’s life and work.

He died from lung cancer yesterday at the age of 80.

Porter Wagoner was a legend in country music, with a string of hit songs in the '60s, appearances at the Grand Ole Opry, and is known for launching the career of none other than Dolly Parton.

Below are several features that XM will be airing in remembrance of this music legend...

XM will air a special Porter Wagoner memorial show tomorrow, October 30th, at 6am and 8pm ET on XM's classic country channel America (ch 10). The special will feature a retrospective of his songs, as well as interview and performance highlights from Wagoner's prolific career in country music.

A rebroadcast of country legend and Hall of Famer Bill Anderson’s interview with Porter Wagoner from the regular series "Bill Anderson Visits with the Legends" will air all day tomorrow on XMX (ch 2), featuring Wagoner’s first-person accounts of some of the most definitive moments in country music history.

A special encore of Bob Edwards' conversation with Porter Wagoner, originally broadcast in June, will air on Friday, November 2nd, at 7am ET on America (XM 10). Fans will hear Wagoner discuss his life in country music as well as his final project, "Wagonmaster," which was produced by country artist and XM host Marty Stuart and earned Wagoner some of the best reviews of his 50-plus year career.

These are currently the only confirmed airdates, but given XM’s relationship with the Grand Ole Opry it’s safe to say that XM will have additional Porter Wagoner tribute programming throughout the week.

According to the on-air promos, XM Satellite Radio's Holiday Music channels are set to debut on November 19th. Except for Holly, of course... and Radio Hanukkah.

Here's the quick breakdown:

• Holiday Traditions (ch 104 / XMRO 79) - Traditional recordings from the '40s through the '60s will keep you swinging through the holidays. Crooners like Bing Crosby, Andy Wlliams, Ray Conniff, and Nat "King" Cole welcome the season with grand style.
• Music City Holiday (ch 105 / XMRO 17 / DirecTV ch 809) - Country's biggest superstars sing contemporary and traditional holiday hits. Selections from Faith Hill, Alabama, George Strait, and Reba McEntire will keep your Christmas country. (US Country will be on hiatus during this time)
• Classical Christmas (ch 106 / XMRO 113 / DirecTV ch 866) - Traditional carols sung by the greatest classical musicians of all-time like the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, Luciano Pavarotti, and Leontyne Price grace the XM airwaves through Christmas day. (XM Pops will be on hiatus too)
• Special X-Mas (ch 107 / XMRO 154 / DirecTV ch 848) - This is the soundtrack to your dysfunctional family holiday. Comedy routines, parodies, seasonal insanity, and just plain bad music help turn your "Bah-Humbug" into a "Ho, Ho, Ho."
• ...and Radio Hanukkah (ch 108 / XMRO 108) - on air from December 4th through December 12th - Classic and off-the-wall renditions of traditional Hanukkah songs, such as "I Have a Little Dreidel" and "Maoz Tzur," will be showcased along with nightly broadcasts of the traditional Hanukkah candlelight blessings attended by some of the nation's most prominent Jews from the worlds of music, entertainment, politics, and comedy.
