Just days after a big CES outing, EchoStar chairman and CEO Charles Ergen is losing a whole executive suite of tech vision.
The founders of Sling Media and three other top executives told their staff Monday that they are leaving the digital media firm that became famous with its Slingbox, which allows users to “place shift” TV content.
Ergen’s EchoStar bought Sling Media for $380 million in cash in September 2007 and kept founding brothers Blake and Jason Krikorian on board as CEO and senior vp business development, respectively.
Also leaving is former MTV Networks chief digital officer Jason Hirschhorn, who has been in charge of the Sling Media Entertainment unit.
