Company overview. DISH Media Sales L.L.C. is the advertising-sales subsidiary of DISH Network L.L.C., the satellite pay-TV operator; since EchoStar Corporation's December 2023 acquisition of DISH Network, the unit sits within EchoStar (NASDAQ: SATS), a public connectivity company whose brands include DISH TV, Sling TV, Boost Mobile, and Hughes. DISH Media Sales is headquartered in New York City with offices in Chicago, Denver, and Los Angeles (the corporate parent is based in Englewood, Colorado). It publishes no standalone financials; third-party directories estimate the unit at roughly 30–60 employees and single-digit-millions revenue, figures that are not company-confirmed.
Products / services / operations. DISH Media Sales sells advertising inventory across DISH's satellite TV platform and Sling TV's streaming service. Its offerings include household-level addressable advertising, linear TV inventory, programmatic impression-by-impression TV buying, and data-driven audience targeting built on first-party DISH/Sling subscriber data, plus cross-platform campaign measurement. It is an operating business unit, not a patent-licensing shell.
Patent-litigation posture. DISH Media Sales is an operating-company defendant: it has 0 tracked plaintiff cases and 1 tracked defendant case. The sole tracked matter is Adeia Technologies Inc. et al. v. DISH Network Corporation et al., filed March 31, 2026, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado — the parent's home district, not a plaintiff-friendly outlier venue. Plaintiff Adeia (NASDAQ: ADEA), a San Jose, California R&D and IP-licensing company, alleges that DISH and affiliates — including DISH Media Sales — infringe five patents from Adeia's media portfolio covering content discovery and viewing experiences in digital television and media distribution.
Notable context. Adeia stated that DISH previously licensed its media technologies and brought suit after failing to renew. EchoStar's 2026 first-quarter 10-Q confirms the suit, says it intends to defend vigorously, and flags potential damages or injunctive relief. DISH and its affiliates have previously defended patent suits in Colorado after transfers, including Digital Broadcasting Solutions' AutoHop DVR litigation, though that case is not among DISH Media Sales' tracked appearances.
