Satellite TV provider Dish Network said it is laying off 157 employees based at its Douglas County headquarters, adding to a previous round of cuts disclosed late last year.
The company sent a letter to the Colorado labor department on Monday about the cuts, saying affected employees were being informed starting that day and will be let go in March.
A list of job titles provided by the company shows that most affected employees work in customer service or tech support. Some 80 of the employees, or just over half, have the title “wireless senior rep.”
The company sent the letter in an effort to comply with the federal Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.
The letter did not provide a reason for the layoffs. Dish Network did not respond to a request for comment from BusinessDen.
This is the second round of cuts the company disclosed in two months. In early November, Dish told the state it was cutting 499 employees working from its headquarters and another office at 5701 S. Santa Fe Drive in Littleton. The affected employees from that round were due to lose their jobs this week.
Dish’s headquarters are located at 9601 S. Meridian Blvd. in unincorporated Douglas County. On the final day of 2023, the company was acquired by satellite communication company EchoStar Corp., which had previously operated Dish Network but spun it off as a separate company in 2008.
Dish lost approximately 696,000 net Dish TV subscribers and 214,000 net Sling TV subscribers in the first nine months of 2023, according to its most recent quarterly report issued in November.
