Charlie Ergen's company continued to lose traditional pay TV subscribers in the third quarter.
Charlie Ergen’s Dish Network on Thursday said it added 148,000 net TV subscribers in the third quarter as growth at streaming service Sling TV outweighed a continued customer drop in the traditional pay TV business.
In the third quarter of 2018, Dish had lost 341,000 net pay TV subscribers. Univision and Dish at the end of March settled a carriage dispute that started when talks hit an impasse in June 2018. But a dispute with AT&T-owned WarnerMedia’s HBO has continued. Dish reported third-quarter earnings of $353 million, or 66 cents per share, compared with $432 million, or 82 cents a share, in the year-ago period. Revenue totaled $3.17 billion for the three months ended Sept. 30, compared with $3.40 billion during the same period of 2018.
