☆ DirecTV agrees to buy Dish for $1
  + stars: | 2024-09-30 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | Ramishah Maruf | Liam Reilly | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
New York CNN —DirecTV announced Monday it’s buying rival Dish Network, ending multiple decades of on-and-off talks about the satellite services merging. The agreement provides DirecTV and Dish with greater scale, a DirecTV spokesperson told CNN. The newly merged DirecTV-Dish entity will continue to support the Dish brand for the foreseeable future, the DirecTV spokesperson said. DirecTV does not currently have plans to make changes to the existing Dish or Sling TV brands, meaning that current Dish customers should not be concerned about being forced over to DirecTV. The deal also strengthens the duo’s foothold in the industry, allowing them to more easily compete with pay TV rivals and streaming services.

REUTERS/Robert Galbraith/File PhotoJuly 6 (Reuters) - Dish Network (DISH.O) Chairman Charlie Ergen is considering merging the two halves of his telecom empire, Dish and EchoStar (SATS.O), news publication Semafor reported on Thursday, citing people familiar with the matter. Dish and EchoStar did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comments. Dish's shares were 5% lower in afternoon trade while EchoStar's stock was down 3.4% amid weaker broader market. In 2008, EchoStar Communications, which was founded by Ergen as a satellite television equipment distributor in 1980, changed its name to Dish Network and spun off its technology arm as a new company named EchoStar Corp.
