As some of you may recall, I have often said Darryl and his other brother Darryl handle the Dish web site while their brother Larry is in charge of PR and Marketing.

Dish June 30 issued a press release about the HD locals expansion. On July 1 it filed an 8-K with the SEC announcing the cancellation of the deal with AT&T. So what you get for a positive story with the headline Dish Offers HDTV In 61 Markets ends with this paragraph:

DirecTV spent 2007 airing a pricey ad campaign promising 100 HD channels by Jan. 1. It fell short, but still established itself as a leader in the HD space. Dish was dealt a blow this week: AT&T will stop offering customers packages with Dish service by the end of the year.

Its all about timing....
