DISH Takes Local HD Count to 70
A day after its DBS competition crossed a HD locals milestone of its own, DISH Network said Thursday that its high-def locals count now stands at 70 markets, a number that reaches 71 percent of U.S. TV households.
DISH said it added HD locals for five markets: Florence/Myrtle Beach, S.C.; Fort Myers/Naples, Fla.; Greenville/New Bern/Washington, N.C.; Madison, Wis.; and Wilkes Barre/Scranton, Pa.
As part of the HD push, DISH continues to offer its TurboHD programming packages, which start at $24.99 a month and are available in three separate tiers. Current DISH customers looking to add high-def can get a "turbo-charged" HD package starting at $10 a month, the company said.
