RushHour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other uses, see Rush hour (disambiguation).
RushHour is a chain of free daily newspapers published in the Canadian cities of Calgary and Edmonton by CanWest Global Communications.
The Ottawa edition was launched on November 13, 2006 as an online news update and entertainment guide but was discontinued on April 25, 2008.
RushHour publishes at 6am in Calgary and Edmonton. Canwest owns larger, for fee newspapers in each of those cities, and RushHour tends to cannibalize content from them and from the CanWest News Service newswire.
The newspaper replaces an earlier free daily published by Canwest, Dose, now available online only.
RushHour's main competitors in Calgary and Edmonton are 24 Hours (published by Sun Media), and the local version of Metro International.
