Skybus takes off out of Bob Hope Airport

Bob Hope Airport saw its first flight come in from the new Skybus airline Tuesday coming in from Columbus, Ohio.

The flight was almost full.

The airline offers some tickets for $10 and others at relatively low rates for flights to and from its home base in Columbus. Burbank is one of the few destinations the airline flies from and to.

The company plans to fly to 25 cities from Columbus and currently has flights to nine different locations including Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., San Francisco and Boston, Mass.

Each Skybus flight offers at least 10 tickets for $10 with priority boarding and other extras available when purchasing the tickets.

Companies bring TV shows to cellphones

Burbank-based Walt Disney Co. and ABC television have partnered with Sprint to bring Sprint cellphone users access to news and entertainment from ABC Entertainment, ABC News and the Disney Channel.

The shows are now available through streaming video.

Shows such as "Desperate Housewives," "Grey's Anatomy," "Lost" and "Ugly Betty" are available for Sprint users to watch via their cellphones in full-length episodes.

The television shows can be viewed the day after their television debuts.

Sprint users will be able to access the last four episodes of shows they are interested in. Users will have to pay an extra fee for this service on top of their regular cellphone service.
