RUSH Available Via German Cable Operator

NEW YORK, July 29: VOOM HD
Networks has announced a second international carriage deal for RUSH, the
24-hour linear channel devoted to extreme sports.

RUSH will launch on
Germany’s cable operator Kabel BW on the newly released pay-TV package, adding
another 2.3 million homes to its reach. This latest deal—brokered by
Chello Zone—continues the global expansion strategy of VOOM HD Networks,
which now has two channels available to the international marketplace.

The global VOOM HD
channel, distributed in Europe and Asia, launched in October 2006. An HD
version of RUSH is already available on BSkyB’s satellite platform in the U.K.

“Germany is undoubtedly an
important market for us,” said Glenn Oakley, the senior VP of global operations
and business development for VOOM HD Networks. “We are delighted at the
opportunity to work with a digital pioneer like Kabel BW in bringing this
region RUSH’s unmatched lineup of extreme-sports programming.”
