Welcome to the town of 'Dish'
We don't exactly know where it is just yet, but one town in the United States has taken up Echostar
on their programming plan known as the "lose your identity, but gain all the TV you can stand" plan. OK, that really isn't the name, but it is the concept.
Back in August, Echostar made the offer
of free satellite television to an entire town's residents if the town would officially rename itself "Dish." The prize package is good for ten years and the winning residents get the "Top 60" package. We won't know which town was willing to do this, since the official announcement hits this Wednesday at 10:30 a.m.
While we're waiting to see which town it was, why not have a little fun? Do you know of any towns that could actually use a name change? Beam your suggestions down to our comments.
We've got a few candidates in my area; take your pick from
"Intercourse", "Blue Ball" or "Bird-In-Hand." (Yes, these are real towns near me!)
