ENGLEWOOD, Colo. – March 31, 2006 – EchoStar Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: DISH) and its DISH Network™ satellite TV service announced today that it is launching SportsTime Ohio, the television network of the Cleveland Indians.

SportsTime Ohio is a Northern Ohio regional sports network offering a variety of sports programming produced for the Ohio sports fan, including extensive coverage of the Indians. DISH Network customers, who subscribe to America’s Top 60+, DishHD Bronze or any higher package, now have access to 130 regular-season games in 2006 on channel 431.

“SportsTime Ohio is a powerful addition to our robust sports line-up and gives Indians fans complete coverage of their team,” said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network. “With SportsTime Ohio on DISH Network, customers now have access to the Indians without the need for extra, costly services.”
