Brush With Rush was a public access show that aired on Ancaster 14 Community Television in the early 1980s. The show could be seen in the Golden Horseshoe area of Ontario. Ancaster is a small residential area outside of Hamilton Ontario, Canada.

Created and hosted by Terry Christoper Diakiw (billed as Terry Diakiw on the show), Brush With Rush was a half hour (occasionally an hour for specials such as a Christmas special) call-in show revolving around Ontarians and their interactions, or 'brushes', with the Canadian rock band Rush. Rush has the most Gold records behind only The Rolling Stones and The Beatles. Their popularity, mythology, rockology, and philanthropy has made Rush a band of epic proportion. Some consider them Gods, but what makes fans connect with them, is that they are down to earth mortals.

One of the most talked about episodes of Brush with Rush involved the rare occurrence of a special guest on the show (vs. phone-ins). Guest Greg Fitzsimmons was an employee of African Lion Safari in Cambridge ON (nearby Ancaster ON) and he brought along Geddy Lee's platform boot that he "ended up with" after the seminal 1976 Massey Hall shows.

Season 1 aired in 1980. Season 2 aired in 1981 A partial season 3 aired in 1982

Terry Diakiw went on to work as a long time employee of PJ Pet Centre in Burlington ON.
