Who is DISH?
In 1995, Charlie Ergen entered the satellite industry with the launch of his first satellite, Echo I, from China. Several months after the launch, DISH made its first broadcast from an uplink center in Wyoming.
Since then, DISH has continued to grow into a multi-billion dollar company, employing more than 22,000 people in the United States. They have come to be known as a leader in technology and innovation in the Satellite industry. Perhaps their most notable innovation came with the introduction of the award winning Hopper® and Joey®, whole-home HD DVR system, in January 2012.
Most recently, DISH has been in the news for the launch of its new internet streaming video service - SlingTV - and for its part in the FCC’s spectrum auction.
