OLN looks like they have it...
Airing: Weekdays 4:30 & 7:30pm, Weekends 4 & 7pm

For the first time in its history,  the legendary Dakar Rally will head to South America for a new terrain and new challenges in the off-road rally discipline. As the exclusive Canadian broadcaster, OLN will bring viewers daily coverage of the rally throughout the event. Participants will travel through Argentina and Chili in a nine thousand-kilometre loop from Buenos Aires to Valparaiso and back again.

Argentina-Chile 2009: 100% Dakar
The plains of Patagonia, the Atacama Desert and the passageway through the Andes Mountains – all in the heat of the austral summer – will provide an ideal setting for testing the endurance of drivers committed to the Dakar 2009.

Very cool, though they don't show much of the big trucks typically, more of the motorcycle wipe outs and the Hummer dismembering over jumps.

I wonder if they went to SA due to the terrorist crap.  I know last year they had to cancel legs of the race.
now they have to watch out for drug lords haha

That is exactly why they are in South America.

And they canceled the entire Dakar Rally last January because of terrorist threats, there was a 'makeup' race mid last year, but it wasn't the same.
