Rush HD

Rush HD was a multiplatform channel spanning television and the Internet, aimed at fans of action, extreme sports and adventure. Its programming was built around adrenaline-driven content for a male audience aged roughly 13 to 45, covering activities such as BASE jumping, kayaking, snowboarding and bungee jumping, among other highlighted sports. Rush HD was created in 2003 and was described as the first high-definition channel available in the United States market. It reached more than 500,000 subscribers across Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, El Salvador and Guatemala. From May 2011, Rush HD became the property of DLA, a company focused on the development, integration and delivery of tailored entertainment solutions for digital platforms (TV, Internet, mobile) across the Americas, excluding Canada. DLA is headquartered in Miami and has local presence in Colombia, Brazil, Mexico and Argentina. Its programming included The North Face Expedition Series, which took audiences to expeditions in the most exotic places on the planet; Nomads, which let viewers live the life of an athlete dedicated to these kinds of sports; and P.I.G., a series presenting various challenges faced by the biggest athletes in motocross, BMX, skiing and snowboarding. Rush HD also broadcast some of the most popular events dedicated to extreme sports, including the Aspen Snowmass Open, the North American Freeskiing Championships, the Mountain Games, the US Free Ski Open, Metro BMX Jam and the Telus World Ski & Snowboard Festival, among others.
