Muzak was OTA back in the 1960s and 1970s. They used a subcarrier on a local FM station that required a special receiver to decode. Satellite offered more security and a larger range of music genres. When Echostar started DishNetwork, Charlie signed a deal with Muzak where E* would provide hardware and Dish customers would get Muzak channels.
Another good reason that Echostar and DishNetwork went their "separate" ways. Looks like Charlie is getting ready to become a Media Mogul with Muzak and Sirius/XM... Hmmm....
