SONY READY TO JOIN RCA IN MINI-DISH MARKET

5.9.1995

     Sony Corp. will begin selling "turkey-tray shaped" mini
satellite dishes next month, joining Thomson Consumer
Electronic's RCA in the market.  The prices of Sony's three
dishes will range between $750-950.  Like RCA's dishes, Sony's
will be programmed by Hughes Electronic's DirecTV and Hubbard
Broadcasting's USSB.  In an exclusive deal with Hughes, RCA had
sole rights to the market for the first 1 million dishes sold or
18 months, which ever came first (AP/ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH,
5/9).
