DISH Network LLC, often referred to as Dish, an abbreviation for Digital Sky Highway, formerly EchoStar Communications Corporation and DISH Network Corporation, is an American provider of satellite television and IPTV services and wholly owned subsidiary of EchoStar Corporation. Its primary competitor is DirecTV. The company operates 4 office locations, 3 in Colorado, 1 in Arizona, including locations in Englewood (its headquarters), Denver, Littleton, and Phoenix. The company was originally established as EchoStar Communications, and first launched its satellite television services under the DISH Network brand in 1996, utilizing its EchoStar I satellite. In 2007, EchoStar spun off its infrastructural business and the brand itself under a separate entity under the EchoStar name with the existing company rebranding to DISH Network Corporation. Both companies would remain under the control of EchoStar's co-founder Charlie Ergen. After the spin-off, the company pursued further acquisitions and business initiatives, including acquiring video rental chain Blockbuster in an attempt to compete with Netflix, releasing a new set-top digital video recorder (DVR) with the controversial ability to automatically skip commercials in recordings. In 2015, the company launched over-the-top IPTV services via the new subsidiary Sling TV. In 2020, the company acquired the mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) Boost Mobile from Sprint Corporation as part of its merger with T-Mobile US, announcing an intent to develop a national 5G network in order to supplant Sprint as a fourth major carrier. In 2023, DISH Network was merged back into EchoStar in an all-stock transaction.

Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
