They could have sold it for $15 and tripled their money.But for that $5 you would have to absorb the billion dollar plus debt. Are you sure you want to do that!

Not mentioned is the fate of Hughes. Is that business included in this deal?
Echo is showing down ~12%. What stocks benefit from this?
The difference is SXM owns most of their Channels, and all the other non owned channels were on both Sirius and XM, with the exception of Howard Stern and a few other stations. But Sirius owned them. This TV merger is going to be interesting, but both companies most of the same channels.Ahh I see what you are saying. That was true for a long time, doesn't appear to me there is a true separation anymore. They used to ask what radio you have before showing you plans but I don't see that. And it looks to me now all programming is the same.
Not bad seeing they are currently selling over 75% of the revenue stream.Echo is showing down ~12%.
Probably Echostar seeing that the only alternative was bankruptcy.What stocks benefit from this?
One thing for sure, the negotiating power between the satellite providers and the "blackout" stations and programming in general has shifted from the providers to the transportersI think we will get some of those answers at 10:30 on the CNBC interview. But I am told (again not verified) that things will be run as separate as they are now. Sounding like at least for a few years we may not see many changes at all.
The channels are not different. Definitely not 2 different companies.Different satellites..different receivers..different channels...sound like 2 different companies..same corporate ownership
So.....thoughts on if this is good or bad for the consumer?
Hughes is under Echostar control I believe. It was always separate from DISH DBS.Not mentioned is the fate of Hughes. Is that business included in this deal?
Wouldn't that single sourcing just be the DISH + plugged into the receiver like DISH is doing already? Then all your streaming apps and your sat receiver is all in one place.Dish got rid of half the debt, got financing, got time to work on the wireless business.
Directv gets programming bargaining power, eliminates a competitor, opportunity to consolidate back office expenses, and wants to build a "portal" for single sourcing the viewers various streaming services.
But bondholders have to accept a haircut of a little more than 1.5 billion for the deal to go through.

Once the word gets out that Boost prepaid for $25, unlimited text and talk with, I think, #)BD of data working off AT&T, T-Mobile Towers and Dish 5G towers gets out, it should grow., they need to start marketing it along with a year of free service if you buy a new phone - and they have a full selection of phones nowA good deal of useful info though.
They cut their debt in half, but if I read things correctly, their revenue by 75%. Their retail wireless is in the billions, and that needs to grow, fast.
What is interesting is their deployment costs are about the same as the wireless revenue. If they can just turn on that spigot, Boost can work.
No. Hughes is a separate entity under Echostar.Not mentioned is the fate of Hughes. Is that business included in this deal?
I'd expect that right away, a drop. Good time to buy in. I'd imagine as things work themselves out over the next year, it would hopefully go up. I would, though, deflect to Bruce on that. He's the resident stock market guruEcho is showing down ~12%. What stocks benefit from this?
I do, I always look to pay up front for cutting edge technology from 6 years ago.Who buys a phone anymore?
