Continental Airlines has contracted JetBlue Airways subsidiary LiveTV to provide a 36-channel live television system – and onboard connectivity – to a large portion of the SkyTeam member’s Boeing narrowbody fleet.

Every seat in Continental’s Boeing 737-700s, -800s, -900s and -900ERs, and Boeing 757-300s, will be equipped with LiveTV’s in-flight entertainment IFE platform, a system that has been in use by JetBlue since the New York JFK-hubbed carrier’s inception. In addition to live television, the system will offer a moving map and other stored informational and entertainment content.

Continental says it will offer complimentary live television access to all first-class customers. Economy-class customers can pay a $6 access fee for access. Services are expected to be available on flights operating within the continental USA beginning in January 2009
