I just came across this information while looking through the Yahoo Financials. I was surprised, but certainly not stunned. The article did not say if the Sling Team was being forced out or if they left voluntarily. I wonder....

Full Story

"The top executives at Sling Media, the people who brought you the Slingbox “place-shifting” TV gadget and Hulu competitor Sling.com, are leaving Echostar (SATS), more than a year after they sold their startup to the satellite TV company for $380 million cash.

Brothers Blake and Jason Krikorian, CEO and SVP-business development are out effective immediately. Jason Hirschhorn, who ran the company’s Sling Media Entertainment unit, plans on staying through the end of February; Ben White, chief creative officer at the entertainment group, will stay on through February 1st."
