Even though Dish tried its hand in online streaming with the $25-a-month Sling TV, Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon’s (AMZN) Prime Video are quite the strong competitors. Sling TV only added 26,000 subscribers in the three-month period, falling short of the 71,000 expectation.
The average monthly rate of subscribers leaving the provider shot up 2.11%, vs. 1.82% a year ago.
Dish Network earned $432 million or $0.82 a share in the quarter, compared to last year’s $297 million or $0.57 per share.
