The Echostar thing doesn't sound right to me either. I keep thinking Charlie Ergen isn't just going to fade into the shadows after being scooped by Malone, but I don't think they have the financial oomph to do anything like that right now, do they? Dish is kind of losing the Satellite Tv wars to DirecTV and just lost AT&T as a partner. Their subs are decreasing, etc.
Mel's been known to position something well then sell it off before. His contract is also coming due and he might be thinking about retiring anyway. He's in his late 60s.
Plenty of half-assed speculation to go around.
