EchoStar (DISH) Drops OLN
10/20/05 at 06:08 PM ET | Comments (8)
from Business Wire,
EchoStar Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH) confirmed today that it is no longer carrying Outdoor Life Network. The Comcast-owned programmer recently demanded that EchoStar force millions of additional DISH Network customers to pay for its outdoor programming as a condition to continued availability. EchoStar was unwilling to impose those additional costs on consumers.
“We work hard to provide choice for our customers and to keep prices low,” said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for EchoStar. “Most of our customers have made the decision they do not want to pay the additional cost of watching that channel.”
For customers impacted by the loss of OLN, DISH Network recently added College Sports TV (CSTV), NFL Network and ESPNU at no additional cost. DISH Network offers other channels that provide similar programming to OLN, such as The Outdoor Channel and the Men’s Channel. For hockey fans, hundreds of hockey games are available through regional sports networks offered by DISH Network, or customers can subscribe to the NHL Center Ice Package, which offers a variety of hockey games much broader than those offered on OLN.
