Dish
Network Corporation, commonly known as DISH, is a United States satellite
broadcaster, providing direct broadcast satellite service—including satellite
television, audio programming, and interactive television services—to 14.337
million commercial and residential customers in the United States. Dish Network
has approximately 24,500 employees, most of whom are located within the U.S.
The corporate office is based in Meridian, an unincorporated area of Douglas
County, Colorado.
EchoStar
Satellite L.L.C. was founded by Charlie Ergen, his wife Candy and their friend
Jim DeFranco as a satellite television equipment distributor in 1980. EchoStar
was officially re-branded as Dish Network in March 1996. This branding came
after the successful launch of its first satellite, EchoStar I in December 1995
and marked the beginning of the company offering subscription television
services. The company has since launched numerous satellites, with 14 owned and
leased satellites currently in its fleet.
As
of January 2008, Dish Network split from EchoStar, with each entity becoming a
separate company. EchoStar is the key technology partner to Dish Network, which
focuses only on marketing and providing satellite television service. Since
June 20, 2011, Joseph Clayton has had day-to-day control of the company.
Dish's
owner Charlie Ergen has made diversifying and updating the company's technology
a high priority. He told the Milken Institute Global Conference in May 2012
that over the next ten years, he plans on transforming the company into a
single company that will provide internet, video and phone service for both
home and mobile applications. Ergen feels that no other company has
successfully accomplished this.
