Rogers Communications Inc. (TSX: RCI.A, TSX: RCI.B, NYSE: RCI) is one of Canada's largest communications companies, particularly in the field of wireless communications and cable television, with additional telecommunications and mass media assets. Edward S. "Ted" Rogers is the company's well-known controlling shareholder and chief executive. The company considers its history to date back to the Rogers Vacuum Tube Company founded by Edward S. Rogers, Sr., which started CFRB (RB stands for "Rogers Batteryless"). However, the current company's history dates back to the formation of Aldred-Rogers Broadcasting (originally co-owned with Joel Aldred), which acquired CHFI-FM in 1960 and helped launch CFTO-TV in 1961.
Rogers Communications Inc. acquired the Toronto Blue Jays Baseball Club in 2000 and several years later, in 2004, acquired Rogers Centre (formerly Skydome) which is the Blue Jays home venue and largest covered indoor entertainment complex in Canada. In July 2001, Rogers Media acquired CTV Sportsnet, and renamed Rogers Sportsnet that November. The FAN 590 sports radio station joined Rogers Media in August 2001 along with 14 Northern Ontario radio stations. Rogers Cable launched Digital Television into Canadian homes in September 2001. Rogers On Demand was launched as a home video library over cable in February 2002, and in November 2003, Rogers Cable makes personal video recorders (PVRs) available to its subscribers.
In summer 2004, Rogers launched Rogers Yahoo!, a powerful Internet experience which combines Rogers' broadband Internet access with Yahoo!, one of the industry's leading providers of Internet content and services.
In the fall of 2004, several strategic transactions were executed that significantly increased Rogers exposure to the potential of the Canadian wireless market. Rogers acquired the 34% of Rogers Wireless owned by AT&T Wireless Services Inc, at an attractive price. Soon thereafter, Rogers Wireless acquired Microcell Telecommunications Inc., along with its popular Fido brand, which created Canada's largest wireless operator and only GSM provider. In December, Rogers Communications repurchased the shares of Rogers Wireless that were publicly held and proceeded to take the company private which significantly enhanced the company's operating & financial flexibility.
Coinciding with the 20th anniversary of Rogers' launch of wireless services, on July 1, 2005, Rogers Home Phone voice-over-cable local telephony service was introduced in the Greater Toronto Area and also successfully completed the acquisition of Call-Net Enterprises Inc. (now Rogers Telecom Holdings Inc.), a national provider of voice and data communications services.
In 2007, Rogers entered a tentative deal to purchase the A-Channel stations, CKX-TV, ACCESS, Canadian Learning Television and SexTV: The Channel from CHUM Limited, as part of the latter company's pending takeover by CTVglobemedia. This transaction was contingent on Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) approval of CTVglobemedia's takeover of CHUM. However, on June 8, 2007, the CRTC approved the CTV transaction conditional on CTV divesting itself of Citytv rather than A-Channel, effectively voiding the deal. On June 12, it was announced that Rogers had made a new offer of $375 million for the Citytv stations. The transaction was approved on September 28, 2007, the same date when "Rogers Park" in Brampton, Ontario was officially opened.
On June 28, 2007, Rogers further offered to sell the two religious-licensed OMNI stations in Winnipeg and Vancouver as part of the Citytv deal, although the company stated that it intended to retain the multilingual-licensed OMNI stations. On July 7, Rogers also announced a takeover offer for Vancouver's multicultural station CHNM. In September of 2007, Rogers has also applied to the CRTC to acquire 20 per cent of CablePulse 24, a local news channel in Toronto which was previously paired with Citytv (both stations were previously owned by CHUM Limited) but was retained by CTVglobemedia in the June 8 license approval. Neither CTVglobemedia nor Rogers has, to date, announced whether this application will change future plans for the station.
