- Business
- Rogers Communications Inc. is a leading Canadian communications and media company that provides wireless voice and data services, cable television, high-speed Internet, telephony, smart home monitoring, and broadcasting through its Wireless, Cable, and Media segments. The company offers wireless services under brands including Rogers Wireless and Fido; cable operations encompassing Internet, TV, phone, and home security via Rogers Cable and Shaw Cablesystems; media assets such as radio and TV stations, sports properties including the Toronto Blue Jays and Rogers Centre, Hockey Night in Canada, and digital media platforms; and additional offerings like Rogers Bank credit cards and machine-to-machine communications. Founded in 1960 and headquartered at 333 Bloor Street East in Toronto, Ontario, Rogers primarily serves consumer, business, and government customers across Canada with a network of offices nationwide.
In recent developments, Rogers concluded a definitive agreement in April 2025 for a CDN$7 billion equity investment from funds managed by Blackstone, backed by Canadian institutional investors, involving a non-controlling stake in a new subsidiary holding a minor portion of its wireless network assets while retaining full operational control, with proceeds directed toward debt reduction. The company also entered a definitive agreement in August 2025 to sell its data centre business to InfraRed Capital Partners, a Sun Life-backed infrastructure manager, aligning with efforts to capitalize on demand in digital infrastructure. These transactions follow the April 2023 acquisition of Shaw Communications Inc., bolstering its national footprint in wireless and cable services.
