DISH Appoints Brian Norris to Lead DISH Media Sales

DISH today announced that Brian Norris has been named vice president of DISH Media Sales, overseeing DISH and Sling TV’s advertising sales, analytics and operations. Norris will report to Warren Schlichting, DISH executive vice president of Marketing, Programming and Media Sales.

“Brian has been a driving force behind DISH Media Sales since its inception, shaping a culture of thought leadership and professionalism within the organization,” said Schlichting. “As we push the envelope on smarter TV advertising, Brian’s leadership will continue the momentum and growth of the business.”

Norris joined DISH Media Sales in 2008 to assist with the establishment of its flagship office in New York City. He has been instrumental in expanding the scope of TV advertising by bringing new and forward-thinking brands into the addressable advertising fold and encouraging them to tap into Sling TV’s unique audience.

“We’re part of changing the definition of TV and with it, the definition of TV advertising,” said Norris. “I’m proud to lead a team of sales innovators that has paved the way in unchartered territory from addressable advertising and programmatic TV to new opportunities offered by Sling TV.”

Most recently, Norris led national advertising sales for DISH Media Sales. In this position, he oversaw the organization’s general market, direct response and Latino advertising sales efforts. These efforts spanned DISH Media Sales’ entire suite of solutions including linear, addressable, interactive and programmatic advertising, as well as digital advertising on Sling TV and DISH Anywhere.

Chapter 11 and Spectrum Values – Questions We Didn’t Get To

We hosted a call on Monday that covered our analysis of the impact of the FCC inquiries on spectrum values, and how this could change if the Company files for Chapter 11 protection. We hosted the call with Jeff Carlisle who is perhaps the leading expert on matters that sit at the intersection of telecom policy and bankruptcy. We got more questions than we could answer in the time we had, and so we covered the questions we didn’t get to in this note.

DBS also misses interest payment

Today EchoStar filed an 8-K announcing that they would not make a scheduled interest payment on DBS secured and unsecured bonds. As with the skipped interest payment at EchoStar, this triggers a 30-day grace period after which DBS will be in default. A default at DBS would also trigger a default at Dish Network Corp., based on cross-default protections in Dish Network Corp. bonds. Our quick thoughts in this (very) brief note.

Of SATS, the FCC and NextWave

Since Friday’s announcement that SATS is not making an interest payment, triggering a 30-day period that could lead to a SATS voluntary Chapter 11 proceeding, we have been in numerous talks with investors about the most notorious bankruptcy case involving the FCC and a telecom company, NextWave. In this note we quickly summarize the key lessons of that case for investors analyzing the potential implications of a SATS bankruptcy proceeding.
