DBS NOTES: DTV Snafu, Forbes List Out, DISH and Azteca Partner


A DTV transition hiccup? On Wednesday, stations in North Carolina, including WRAL in Raleigh, conducted a soft test of their digital signals. The broadcaster said during the soft switch, DISH and DIRECTV aired the analog feed, which for that moment didn’t provide any programming. The station said the DBS services will turn on a digital signal by December --- Charlie Ergen of EchoStar/DISH Network appeared on the Forbes 400 richest Americans list, with an estimated worth of $8.1 billion. That places Ergen at No. 35 and No. 1 in Colorado. John Malone, chairman of Liberty Media, had an estimated worth of $2.3 billion, good enough for No. 190 --- Azteca America and DISH Network are partnering for the launch of a 24-hour pay-per-view feed of the popular reality singing show "La Academia Ultima Generacion de Mexico."
