By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/19/2010 11:54:45 AM

EchoStar said Tuesday (Jan. 19) it is donating satellite services to Haiti relief agencies.

FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said over the weekend that a number of communications companies were volunteering their expertise and services to the earthquake-ravaged country.

EchoStar will provide backhaul capacity or emergency channels, a move it signaled to the FCC Jan. 14, according to the company.

Relief agencies seeking those services should call EchoStar's traffic desk (888-778-3728).
