Blog Content On Airline Entertainment Systems

by Piers Fawkes

On our recent flight on Virgin America to SFO we noticed that music blog/label RCRD LBL has a music channel on their In Flight Entertainment system. VA also has video podcasts from Boing Boing, Digg and TED which are updated monthly.

Charles Ogilvie who created and runs the system told PSFK that the new airline hopes to have more daily blog content to sit alongside traditional media when they launch their Read section of the IFE.
