DirecTV agreed to pay a nominal fee of $1 for Dish. The deal will see DirecTV assume about $9.75 billion in debt and is contingent on consent from some of Dish’s bondholders, according to a news release.
The deal is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025. Combined, DirecTV and Dish will serve close to 20 million customers, according to Reuters.
