Voom HD Networks and Eutelsat visAvision have announced the launch of Rush on the KabelKiosk platform. The news was announced by Glenn Oakley, Voom HD Networks Senior Vice President, Global Operations and Business Development and Eutelsat KabelKiosk’s Managing Director Martina Rutenbeck. Rush is a 24/7 linear channel devoted to extreme sports and adrenaline-filled action.
Rush will be transmitted in standard definition via Eutelsat’s Atlantic Bird 2 satellite at 8 degrees West. The KabelKiosk platform is expected to migrate to the Eurobird 9A satellite at Eutelsat’s latest major platform 9 degrees East in the first quarter of 2009. The Rush channel is already available through Germany’s Kabel BW, and a high definition version of the channel is available on BSkyB’s satellite platform in the UK.
