The orbital modulation of the X-ray and radio emission of Cyg X-3 was studied using monitoring data from CGRO/BATSE, RXTE/ASM, GBI and the Ryle telescope as well as recent INTEGRAL observations. The depth of the X-ray modulation was found to be the same at X-ray energies ranging from 1.5 up to at least 20 keV, but the shape of the lightcurves changes gradually with energy. No modulation was found in radio.
