What Time Warner is to America, Rogers is to Canada

If an American media mogul ever wanted to expand his control further around the world, we would suggest he/she kick the tires on one of Canada's biggest media/communications company, Rogers Communications. This company is like the Time Warner of Canada. They publish Maclean's which is Canada's version of Time Magazine among other fashion and business titles. Their business includes phone, cable & Internet services as well as broadcasting. What American media mogul in their right mind wouldn't want to control such a company? With revenues of about $7.48 billion (CAN) and operating income of $2.1 billion (CAN) this company is doing serious business. Here is a little info on the media giant: Rogers 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. Rogers Media owns Canada's largest publishing company, Rogers Publishing Limited, which has more than 70 consumer and business publications, 51 radio stations, television broadcasting with OMNI and the Sportsnet network, The Shopping Channel which is Canada's home shopping service, the Toronto Blue Jays and the team's home stadium, the Rogers Centre.
