DISH Network Adds CSTV To DISH Channel Line Up

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., - Sept. 7, 2004 – EchoStar Communications

Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH) today announced its DISH Network

satellite TV service now offers CSTV: College Sports Television.

CSTV Networks, Inc. is a multi-media company consisting of the first

24-hour college sports television network. Starting today, Sept. 7,

CSTV will be available to DISH Network’s 11.4 million subscribers

nationwide and included in DISH Network’s “America’s Top 180”

programming package, at no extra charge.

CSTV provides more live college sports games, events, news,

Naval Academy football games, both home and select neutral sites, as

“CSTV complements DISH Network’s powerful line-up of sports

programming,” said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for

DISH Network. “The addition of CSTV on DISH Network provides

customers with access to more college sports information without the

need for extra, costly services.”

“We’re delighted that DISH recognizes the huge appetite that college

fans have for seeing more games from more schools on television,” said

Brian Bedol, chief executive officer for CSTV Networks. “Now, DISH

Network and its subscribers have more access to valuable, daily, live

college sports programming and CSTV gains greater national

distribution.”

Holy crap .. I checked and yep... it is there! Along with ch 154 (NFL) that I had no idea was there. Also, somehow Showtime is coming in as well. Maybe they are running a promotion that I wasn't aware of. Or maybe I got upped on my programming and didn't notice because I autopay.

Sitting here watching the boob tube and what do you know!? They pick good ole North Texas as the fantasy pick for rushing week 2.
