Outside TV (formerly RSN Television) is a sports-oriented cable and satellite television network based on Outside magazine and the critically acclaimed brand. Outside TV is the only national programming network dedicated to the active adventure lifestyle. Outside TV embraces running, biking, skiing, hiking, sailing, surfing, kayaking, and any other adventures involving wind, water, snow and terrain; as well as the full spectrum of the people’s lives who engage in them. Offering exclusively high-definition programs, Outside TV is fast becoming a fixture among leading cable, satellite, telco and broadband providers’ sports and entertainment offerings.
Outside TV was the result of a complete re-branding of the existing Resort Sports Network, the national television network that specialized in creating and distributing outdoor-lifestyle content to premier vacation destinations throughout the country.
As of June 2010 Outside TV was in 110 resort markets representing 61 million potential viewers.
Outside TV has a corporate office in Westport, CT and a main office in Portland, ME. Its sales office is in the Graybar Building at 420 Lexington in New York City.
Outside TV was founded by publisher Lawrence Burke and founding executive producer and executive vice president Les Guthman in 1994.
