American Airlines to switch to NBC

— -- On March 1, NBC Universal will replace CBS as American Airlines' in-flight video news, information and entertainment program provider.

NBC Universal will produce four exclusive 90-minute programs each month for American's in-flight entertainment systems, featuring content from NBC, USA, Bravo, Sci Fi, MSNBC and CNBC.

The programs will also include films from Universal Pictures and shows from NBC News, NBC Sports and other NBC Universal divisions.

The new programming will be available on seat-back screens or via personal video device systems on American's Boeing 737s, 757s and 767s, plus its Airbus A300s.
