“Undiscovered America” Expands Reach with RHStv Move

From cable to connected television.

Before joining RHStv, Undiscovered America had already established itself as a distinctive travel series focused on uncovering the overlooked stories of America’s cultural landscape. Hosted and executive produced by David Downing, the show drew on his extensive experience in tourism and destination marketing to spotlight lesser-known places and the communities behind them.

Downing, who served as CEO of Visit St. Pete-Clearwater from 2014 to 2019, led the series through a three-year run on cable television. During that time, Undiscovered America developed a reputation for prioritizing authenticity; featuring local voices, exploring cultural identity and presenting destinations through a more nuanced, story-driven lens.

The transition to RHStv marks a strategic evolution for the series.

While cable provided a traditional distribution model, RHStv offers expanded accessibility through a digital-first platform. Viewers can engage with episodes on demand, removing the limitations of fixed broadcast schedules and allowing for more flexible, personalized viewing experiences.

The move also supports broader audience engagement. With integrated digital and social capabilities, RHStv enables the series to reach new viewers, encourage content sharing and build a more direct connection with its audience, an increasingly important factor in today’s media landscape.

Since launching in 2023, RHStv has surpassed 6 million views and ranks among the Top 15 entertainment apps in the U.S. within the Lifestyle & Entertainment category, offering free streaming across web, iOS, Google Play and major connected TV platforms. Building on this growing reach, Undiscovered America arrives with an established foundation, while David Downing further expands his presence as host of Oh Yeah?! Show with David Downing, streaming exclusively on RHStv.
