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.
