Pentagon Channel Launches In-Flight Service on Military Charter Flights

September 27, 2007 By admin

WASHINGTON, April 24, 2006 – The Pentagon Channel has launched “Pentagon Channel In Flight,” a military news and information service that will be aired on military charter flights worldwide.

“Pentagon Channel In Flight is another way in which we can introduce servicemembers to the Pentagon Channel and provide them with the timely military news and information that they need to do their jobs.” said Allison Barber, deputy assistant secretary of defense for internal communications.

Pentagon Channel In Flight will air on participating military charter flights, including Air Transport International, ATA, Continental Airlines, Delta Airlines, Miami Air, North American Air, Omni Air International, Ryan Air, and United Airlines.

The Pentagon Channel, the Department of Defense’s cable television channel, broadcasts military news and information for and about the 2.6 million members of the U.S. armed forces — active duty, National Guard, and reserve. Broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, the Pentagon Channel helps ensure that U.S. forces remain the best informed in the world.

Pentagon Channel programming also is available online, streamed live 24/7 and on-demand at www.pentagonchannel.mil, and is available via audio and video podcasting.

Today, more than a million servicemembers on more than 312 military bases, camps and installations in the U.S. can watch the Pentagon Channel. It also is available to the 800,000 servicemembers and their families serving in 177 countries overseas via American Forces Radio and Television Service.

The Pentagon Channel reaches more than 12 million households through commercial distribution on satellite and cable systems nationwide. DISH Network, Verizon FiOS and divisions of Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, Charter, Mediacom, RCN, Armstrong, Midcontinent, Knology, GCI, and a number of smaller cable companies and local access channels in communities around the country carry the Pentagon Channel.

    $400 bliilon in 12 years not a big cut at all. $33 bliilon a year.If we want to keep that $33 bliilon a year in hardware cut it else where!There is a lot of DoD budget to go around take charge of the cuts!Does the national debt and the impending increase to that debt mean anything?
