Nov 21 (Reuters) - DirecTV will terminate its planned

acquisition of Dish TV after bondholders rejected a debt swap

that the deal relied on, Axios reported on Thursday, citing a

person familiar with the matter.

Satellite TV provider DirecTV said earlier this month it

will abandon its planned the acquisition of EchoStar's ( SATS )

satellite television business, which includes Dish TV, by Nov.

22 if bondholders don't agree to a debt exchange.
