| 16:26 EDT |  | DISH | Big Ten Network returns to DISH
DISH Network announced that it has reached a new, multi-year agreement with FOX, part owner of Big Ten Network, for the rights to resume broadcast of Big Ten Network and its coverage of college football games and other sports content. The agreement makes the BTN broadcasts available on DISH in time for today's games. DISH customers have not received the channel since Sept. 14 when a contract between the two companies expired. "With BTN in our portfolio, and with the recent addition of Pac-12 Networks, we now offer more college sports than any other pay-TV provider in America," said Dave Shull, DISH's senior vice president of programming. "We think our customers will be delighted that they can watch all Big Ten games this weekend and for years to come; and we are proud to offer our channel lineup at the lowest everyday prices in the industry." |

| 09:28 EDT |  | DISH | DISH looking to develop broadband service, says Wells Fargo
After DISH (DISH) agreed to develop a fixed-mobile broadband service with nTelos (NTLS), Wells Fargo does not believe that DISH is looking to build a network. Rather, the firm thinks that DISH is looking to build a broadband service that is likely to operate on Sprint's (S) spectrum. The firm views the nTelos deal positively as it gives DISH a head start in developing a broadband offering in case it acquires Sprint. The firm keeps an Outperform rating on Sprint. |

The CEO of SoftBank (SFTBF) Masayoshi Son criticized the concept of Dish Network's (DISH) offer to buy Sprint Nextel (S), saying the satellite company would be a poor fit for a wireless carrier, while the synergies of a SoftBank-Sprint deal will result in significant cost savings. Reference Link |
