New Dish Network Programming Packages
DishFAMILY: On February 1st, DISH Network is launching a brand-new family-oriented entertainment package, DishFAMILY. It will provide a variety of content for everyone in the family, including sports, news, children's programming, lifestyle, hobbies, shopping and more, for only $19.99/mo. This is not an introductory offer - this is everyday low price. And, if customers want to receive their locals, it would be only $5.00 more per month.
DishFAMILY lineup of over 30 channels comes primarily from AT120 or AT180 - so customers can receive valuable family programming at a low price point. They can get the family-friendly content they want without paying for channels they don't need.
AllSat is receiving reduced commissions from DISH Network on all DishFAMILY customers; therefore all affiliates will receive $50 commission on DishFAMILY activations.
