CELEBRATING 10 YEARS ON THE
NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE

and CEO; Alan Horn, Rogers’ Chairman; Bruce M. Mann, Rogers’ Vice President of Investor Relations.
Ted Rogers started his first communications business almost 50
years ago when he saw the potential in the then-new technology
called FM radio and bought CHFI, Canada’s first FM radio station,
now the largest and most profitable radio station in Canada.
Today, Rogers Communications services millions of Canadians
from coast to coast and employs more than 22,000 people. It owns
Canada’s largest wireless telecom company; the country’s largest
cable company; 51 radio stations; regional sports, home shopping
and multicultural television stations; Canada’s largest collection
of magazines and trade journals; and the Toronto Blue Jays major
league baseball team.
Rogers Communications is headquartered in Toronto and its
shares have historically traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
In 1996, the Company also listed its shares on the New York Stock
Exchange (NYSE), which provides additional liquidity, access
to the single largest pool of equity capital in the world and
greater visibility by the U.S. investment community. During 2006,
the Company celebrated the 10-year anniversary of its NYSE
listing with a ceremony at the exchange. The equity market
capitalization of Rogers Communications at the start of 1996
was $2.9 billion. At the end of 2006 it was $22.6 billion, and today
the shares of Rogers Communications are included in both the
FTSE and Dow Jones global telecom indexes.
