The Ski Channel Partners with DISH Network®

The approximately 13.610 million satellite TV customers of DISH Network® are all getting an early Christmas present as The Ski Channel Video On Demand (VOD) will be joining the DISH Network® lineup of extensive VOD service. In making the announcement of the long-term VOD distribution agreement with DISH Network®, Steve Bellamy, Chairman and CEO of The Ski Channel said, "We have only been on air for nine months and have already crossed the 21 million subscriber mark." 

The addition of DISH Network means that nearly every consumer in America now has at least two available television platforms to receive The Ski Channel, a  free, ad supported network delivered on cable, satellite, IPTV, web and wireless. It is the only television network devoted solely to year-round mountain activities such as skiing, snowboarding, hiking, biking, backpacking, climbing and off-slope activities.

The Ski Channel's content currently includes series, movies, events, news, weather, destination travel, equipment, instruction and real estate. The 2009 fall programming lineup will bring new shows and films including the works of legendary ski filmmaker Greg Stump, and a wide variety of Colorado's best filmmakers including Sweetgrass Productions, Denver's Futuristic Films and Crested Butte's Two Plank Productions. Also to debut will be talk shows starring Bode Miller, Lindsey Vonn, Tanner Hall, Glen Plake and Simon Dumont, as well as feature partnership programming with the X-Dance Film Festival.
