Hughes, Hubbard Team on Satellite TV Plan:...

Hughes, Hubbard Team on Satellite TV Plan: Hughes Communications and Hubbard Broadcasting have teamed up to launch a direct broadcast satellite system in the United States by the summer of 1994. Hughes previously had a partnership with News Corp., NBC and Cablevision Systems Corp., but the other partners pulled out. Hubbard, through its United States Broadcasting Co. subsidiary, has been developing a direct broadcast satellite system for several years. Such a system would provide about 100 channels to viewers with special receiving dishes.
