Dish Network TV, telephone and Internet package deal debate

Open your mailbox, turn on your TV or hop in your car for a drive. It likely won't be long before you encounter advertising for a plan to package your phone, Internet and television service into one monthly bill.

The two main Rochester-area combatants in this battle for customers are Time Warner Communications and Frontier. Each offers what's known in the industry as a "triple-play bundle." That's a combination of phone, high-speed Internet and cable or satellite television service.

Frontier joined the fray this spring by partnering with Dish Network to offer satellite television. Time Warner has been offering its triple play since the summer of 2004, when it added Internet phone service to its menu of choices.

Muslims of America now have a new venue for television programming with the announcement today that Bridges TV, the American Muslim lifestyle network in English, is now available nationwide on DISH Network. EchoStar Communications Corporation's (NASDAQ: DISH) DISH Network(TM) satellite television service has added Bridges TV to its programming lineup on channel 578.

To commemorate the launch of Bridges TV on DISH Network, Dr. Faroque Khan, a board member of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and President of the Islamic Society of Long Island (ICLI), will honor DISH Network with the prestigious Bridge Builder Award. Past Award recipients include world heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali. The award is in recognition of DISH Network's more than decade-long service to American Muslims and its support of the American Muslim television network. The launch event will be held on Sunday, May 22 at 11 a.m. ET at the Islamic Center of Long Island, 835 Brush Hollow Road, Westbury, NY 11590. Tel: 516-333-3495.

Bridges TV offers American Muslims some of the most relevant cultural programming in English, which makes the network appeal to immigrant Muslims, American-born Muslims and mainstream Americans interested in Muslim cultures and people.

Subscribers can enjoy shows such as Each Other, about a Muslim girl trying to succeed as a big-city reporter; the network's morning show Salam America; Bridges News, the network's original daily newscast and Muslims Across America, a show that profiles major community events and stories. These programs join lifestyle-themed cartoons, cooking shows, current events shows, family-friendly sitcoms and movies that bring American Muslim issues to the forefront.

The specialized network, headquartered in Buffalo, NY, attests to the growing numbers and economic strength of the seven million American Muslims in the United States. Islam is the second largest faith in America and, with a 6.2 percent annual growth rate, it's the fastest growing religion in the United States. However, Muslims remain a misunderstood group. Bridges TV hopes to create better understanding between American Muslims and mainstream Americans.
