Dish Network history

[bobvick]

I was wondering if any of you here that have been Dish subs for a very long time, or since the beginning have any old advertisments or press releases, etc... That you could scan in. Like promotional material from the first years that show the packages and the rates back then.

Interesting, but do I detect just the slightest pro-cable bias at that site?

In the very late 1990's-early 2000's I remember programming they had on ch. 101. Possibly called Dish Network News.. with host Laurie Farkas, if I remember correctly. Usually had something interesting every day. Back when they would actually promote the fact that a new channel was being added.

What makes you think that the list of lies or the site address (cableplease.com - World Cable Association).

Do any of you remember the radio commercials with the boring guy talking in a monotone about how great Dish is?
