Dish Network was once the undisputed king of satellite TV—with over 13 million subscribers and nearly $15 billion in annual revenue—until its share price plunged from $80 to $5 and it lost hundreds of thousands of customers each quarter. Burdened by almost $30 billion in debt and steered by founder Charlie Ergen’s infamous frugality, Dish endured cutthroat workplace culture and penny-pinched pricing decisions. When streaming disrupted pay-TV, Ergen pivoted to 5G—amassing $21 billion in spectrum and launching DISH Wireless at $30/month—but slow speeds, ballooning debt, and a blocked merger with DirecTV left Dish on shaky ground. Now, facing subscriber losses, ad-revenue declines, and an FCC-mandated network buildout deadline, Dish fights for survival.
