Citybuzz, the television network in hotels and airports is getting its wings. Partnering with Danoo, Citybuzz will broadcast on the default channel on Continental, Frontier and JetBlue allowing travelers an insiders view of what’s going on coast to coast.

"Travelers watch Citybuzz in the captive environments of their hotel room and airline seat. And they can watch more on Citybuzz.com. It’s not enough to tell sophisticated travelers what's going on in a city. They also want to know where the insiders hang. ...where artist Cindy Sherman likes to shop ...or designer Isaac Mizrahi likes to eat or what's David Schwimmer favorite Chicago night spot. No upscale traveler wants to feel like a tourist." says CEO and founder, Christy Ferer.
