The stock’s gains were influenced by Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen recently approaching DirecTV for a possible merger as a strategic response to Comcast's proposal to buy Time Warner Cable that was announced last month, the report said, citing "several people with knowledge of the matter." Both companies however declined to comment on the report.
