VOOM at a Glance

Headquarters: Jericho, New York
Date of launch: October 2003
Available on: Dish Network, Cable
Available channels:15


VOOM HD Networks was developed by Rainbow Media to meet the growing demand for quality high definition programming, building on Rainbow Media's history of original programming innovation. VOOM was originally launched in 2003 as an independent DBS service, specializing in the delivery of unique high definition programming. Late entry in the already well established DBS market, combined with internal management problems led to VOOM discontinuing its DBS service in April 2005. The Rainbow 1 DBS satellite and orbital slot was purchased shortly after by Echostar, which became VOOM's exclusive U.S. satellite distributor of the unique VOOM programming. Today, VOOM programming is available on Dish Network and also select cable vision systems.

VOOM produces 15 unique channels in high definition that are available nowhere else.

Witless Protection TMC 6:15 pm  ET

Larry the Cable Guy can score some solid laughs in his stand-up act, but his screen work makes the "Ernest" movies look like Merchant Ivory fare, and this 2008 comedy seems aimed squarely at the mouth-breather demographic.

Raising Helen AMC 10:30 pm  ET

Workaholism is bad! Having kids changes your priorities! Well, duh.

It casts Kate Hudson as the career woman who gains an instant family when her nephew and nieces (Spencer Breslin, Hayden Panettiere, Abigail Breslin) are orphaned by an accident. Been there, seen that.
