Echostar 3 86.4W

They have filed with the FCC to repurpose EchoStar 3 from spare status at 61.5W to Chile and South Pacific service under a United Kingdom slot license. Uplink will be from Chile.

Probably developing potential new markets or preparing for future newer satellites at this location.

Well you know old Charlie, he is going to squeeze out all the available use he can out of the old satellites.

It's EchoStar - not Dish.

Not necessarily related to Dish or USA programming in any manner.
