History

In 2021, Discovery New Zealand announced its plans to restructure several of its TV channels for 2022, including the addition of Rush, intended to reach a younger male audience.[1][2] Rush launched on 21 March 2022. After the closure of The Edge TV, Breeze TV and the rebranding of Choice TV, Rush (with sister channel eden) started transmission on old Choice TV Freeview channel 14 and Sky TV channel 24.[3][4]
