“DISH has offered 4K-ready set-top boxes for three years, and 4K
TV market share is anticipated to exceed one-in-four U.S.
households by the end of 2017,” said Vivek Khemka, DISH executive
vice president and chief technology officer. “The missing element?
4K programming. That’s why it’s great to see forward-looking
companies like FOX invest in 4K production, so together we can
deliver live entertainment in crystal-clear resolution.”
This move is part of a broader agreement that includes future 4K
coverage of college basketball games, Major League Baseball and
NASCAR racing.
DISH offers a slate of 4K programming from NBCUniversal,
Netflix, The Orchard and Mance Media. The company has also
delivered special 4K broadcasts throughout the past year, including
a live PPV broadcast of Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. Silva mixed
martial arts fight, Planet Earth II, and NBC’s coverage of the
Games of the XXXI Olympiad from Rio de Janeiro.
