Rogers will offer its cable and high-speed Internet subscribers access online to an initial 15 channels which it owns in whole or partly, including Citytv, Rogers Sportsnet, A&E Canada, Bio and G4 Canada.
Cable TV subscribers will be able to watch the broadband content anywhere in Canada where their computer can access the Internet after user authentication.
By the second half of 2010, the Rogers service will be extended to a mobile app, social media sites and live event streaming.
Content distributors to have already pacted with Rogers on its online video service include Warner TV and Michael Eisner's web studio Vuguru.
