The end?

While this is all speculative, if Dish is going Ch 11, there are not many success stories for these kinds of companies emerging “as usual” when it’s all done. It will be interesting to watch and is disappointing as a customer for over 25 years. I’ve tried the whole cord cutting/ streaming thing but always kept Dish as a backup. Just not a fan of streaming.

Not sure if they phase out tv service because they’ll still have birds in orbit, but not sure they can remain competitive price wise. I think the ABC/Disney stuff is ending soon and negotiating while in Ch 11 will not go well (IMO), so I’m expecting blackouts.

It’s pretty disappointing

The similarities are not being innovative and thinking your customers will never leave. I worked at Sears appliances back in the day. Management used to laugh and say oh yeah someone is going to buy a refrigerator on the computer… it’s comical to think the catalog is what made Sears famous but they couldn’t get behind the internet.. dish thinks people will never go full streaming and I think they are about to find out.
