EchoStar Satellite LLC was founded in 1980 by Charles Ergen, his wife Candy, and his friend Jim DeFranco, as a distributor of equipment for satellite television. Was officially relaunched as EchoStar DISH Network in March 1996. This revival came after the successful launch of its first satellite, EchoStar I, in December 1995 and marked the beginning of television services subscription offered by the company. Since then, the company has launched numerous satellites, with 14 satellites in its own fleet leased from April 2011. More
