Rogers Radio is a division of Rogers Sports & Media (a subsidiary of Rogers Communications) that specializes in the radio broadcasting industry. Rogers Radio is Canada's third-largest radio broadcaster (after Bell Media Radio and Stingray Group), the fourth being Corus, and the largest based in Ontario.
As of January 2015, the company owns and operates 52 radio stations (44 FM and 8 AM) in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia and Ontario. They had previously owned two stations in New Brunswick; however, they were sold to other companies in 2015.
On November 22, 2024, Rogers Sports & Media announced that it would sell three stations—CJDL-FM and CKOT-FM in Tillsonburg, and CJET-FM in Smiths Falls—to My Broadcasting Corporation pending CRTC approval.[1]
Rogers Radio currently operates stations under the Jack FM, KiSS FM, Sportsnet Radio, CityNews, Country and SONiC RADiO brands as well as several local branding.
