Aldred-Rogers Broadcasting

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aldred-Rogers Broadcasting Ltd. was a broadcasting company created in 1959 to launch Toronto's first private television station. The partnership was made up of media personality Joel Aldred and radio station owner Ted Rogers. The station created was CFTO-TV and began operations in 1960. The partnership was short lived and ended when co-owner Aldred sold his interest in CFTO-TV in 1961. The company disolved, but Ted Rogers retained his share and the company forged ahead to become Rogers Communications.
