Dish Network Animal Planet Biography
Dish Network Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH), commonly known as DISH, is a United States satellite broadcaster, providing direct broadcast satellite service—including satellite television, audio programming, and interactive television services—to 14.337 million[3] commercial and residential customers in the United States. Dish Network has approximately 24,500 employees, most of whom are located within the U.S. The corporate office is based in Meridian, an unincorporated area of Douglas County, Colorado. EchoStar Satellite L.L.C. was founded by Charlie Ergen, his wife Candy and their friend Jim DeFranco as a satellite television equipment distributor in 1980. EchoStar was officially re-branded as Dish Network in March 1996. This branding came after the successful launch of its first satellite, EchoStar I in December 1995 and marked the beginning of the company offering subscription television services. The company has since launched numerous satellites, with 14 owned and leased satellites currently[when?] in its fleet. As of January 2008, Dish Network split from EchoStar, with each entity becoming a separate company. EchoStar is the key technology partner to Dish Network, which focuses only on marketing and providing satellite television service. Since June 20, 2011, Joseph Clayton has had day-to-day control of the company. Dish's owner Charlie Ergen has made diversifying and updating the company's technology a high priority. He told the Milken Institute Global Conference in May 2012 that over the next ten years, he plans on transforming the company into a single company that will provide internet, video and phone service for both home and mobile applications. Ergen feels that no other company has successfully accomplished this.

Animal Planet was created in cooperation with the BBC by Discovery Communications on October 1, 1996. On January 1, 1997, Animal Planet's distribution grew as a result of Discovery Communications buying the channel space of WOR EMI Service (a national feed of New York's WWOR-TV), that was implemented in the light of the SyndEx laws enforced by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It is available throughout the US, as well as in over 70 countries around the world. Country-specific versions of the channel have been created in Canada, India, Japan, Taiwan and other countries. The National Aquarium in Baltimore has an exhibit of "Animal Planet Australia: Wild Extreme". It opened in late 2005 in a multi-million dollar expansion. Animal Planet and the National Aquarium in Baltimore (in 2004) announced a multi-year partnership which produced an original orientation film that gives Aquarium visitors background on the Australian area which inspired the new exhibit and a dedicated area inside the expansion where visitors can learn about Animal Planet's conservation efforts and other programming. The partnership also has possible future productions of TV programs about the National Aquarium in Baltimore's research and exhibits. In 2006, BBC Worldwide sold its 20% interest in Animal Planet US back to Discovery Communications.The BBC maintained its 50% ownership in Animal Planet Europe, Animal Planet Asia and Animal Planet Latin America, as well as its minority position in Animal Planet Japan and Animal Planet Canada until 15 November 2010, when BBC Worldwide sold 50% interest in Animal Planet and Liv to Discovery Communications for $156 million.
