DirecTV is buying rival Dish to create a pay-TV giant-over 20 years after it first tried
Briefly

DirecTV's acquisition of Dish and Sling, a long-anticipated deal, aims to strengthen its competitiveness against dominant streaming services that are reshaping the pay-TV market.
The merger between DirecTV and Dish comes at a critical time for EchoStar, which is facing potential bankruptcy and has reported significant cash flow issues.
Antitrust concerns previously blocked a merger between DirecTV and Dish over two decades ago, but changing market dynamics could now favor regulatory approval.
With traditional satellite demand dwindling, the deal represents a strategic move by DirecTV to consolidate its operations and address challenges posed by streaming giants.
