Charlie Ergen went almost three
years without an acquisition after splitting up his satellite-
television empire in 2008. Since December, he has cut five deals
and may soon have a sixth.


Ergen is seeking to push his Dish Network Corp. (DISH) TV provider
and EchoStar Corp. (SATS) equipment company into Internet and on-demand
services, said Chris Marangi at Gamco Investors Inc. Dish, where
Ergen is chairman and chief executive officer, won an auction
this week for bankrupt Blockbuster Inc.’s movie-rental business,
beating out Carl Icahn and others with a $320 million bid.
