Rumor: VOOM/Echostar Deal?

[Sean Mota]

I have been told that a deal has been struck and we will hear the details in two weeks . Take this as as a rumor only since I know nothing more than this. If you go to the bar, ask for me in a thread.

Sean,

Does that mean VOOM will be no more? Or Voom is going to be part of Echostar? Or VOOm is going to be independent? What type of a deal?

 

[Sean Mota]

VOOM will live... but how is the question...

 

[Sean Mota]

I meant in which "Form".

 

[TYORK]

I have been tell you guys for a while enjoy your voom they aren't going anywhere.

As I said before this is only a rumor, and nothing has been confirmed yet. But it keeps getting stronger.

 

[gutter]

Sean has said a lot already. He may know more but for the sake of his future credibility, I wouldn't press him. Just enjoy VOOM and watch the classic..."The tale of Two Charlies." ....I mean ...Two Cities.

This is probably another one of Chuck's "letter's of agreement"

Lets see if he actually follows through this time with Ergan

silversurfer, there it goes again, the mouth runs and runs..........

 

[vurbano]

I think its great. Anything but D* downrezzed crap.

 

[Spike]

I really don't want VOOM just to be a content provider, to be honest. I want the whole nine yards plus one.

If Voom goes content provider, then Charlie can get rid of all that duplicative programming Voom is broadcasting that Dish already has on its birds. All the stuff Ergan has on his regular sats like ESPN, CNN etc can be eliminated on 61.5. Then Ergan will have space for HDLILs.

I'm in no way an E* fan. In order to get VOOM I don't want to have to have E*. That does not appeal to me at all.
