The Professional Bull Riders are happy to announce the rest of the 2006 Built Ford Tough Series presented by Wrangler (BFTS) will be available to DISH Network customers. EchoStar Communications Corporation and its DISH Network™ and OLN announced a multi-year agreement which restores the channel to DISH Network customers.

Said Randy Bernard, Chief Executive Officer of the PBR regarding the announcement, "The PBR has a lot of loyal fans on DISH Network that we're happy to welcome back. We're excited to reach the millions of additional homes that have been missing the PBR."

"It is important that we negotiated a fair contract, enabling DISH Network to remain a tremendous value for our customers," said Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming. "We understand that this has been a difficult period for our customers, and we thank them for all their patience. We look forward to a long relationship with OLN in which we can provide the network to our customers."

"We are very pleased that millions of DISH customers can once again enjoy OLN's terrific programming," said Gavin Harvey, President of the network. "DISH and OLN belong together, and I appreciate the spirit of partnership that reconnected us. We look forward to serving our very passionate—and extremely patient—fans of the NHL, Tour de France, Professional Bull Riding, and the best hunting and fishing on television."
