ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Carl Vogel, who left Charter Communications Inc. in January as the cable television provider struggled with debt and fierce competition from satellite-TV rivals, has joined the board of the nation's No. 2 satellite television company.
EchoStar Communications Corp., which operates The Dish Network, announced Vogel's appointment in a Securities and Exchange Commission filing late last week. Vogel served as EchoStar's president from 1995 to 1997.
