News Summary:

On July 23, 2026, Rogers, alongside Quebecor and Hollywood Studios, secured a two-year site-blocking order from Canada’s Federal Court, compelling major internet providers to cut off access to a list of piracy streaming platforms. The ruling also provides rights holders a faster mechanism to add new domains as pirate operators adapt. Previously, on July 21, 2026, Rogers Sports & Media's radio station closures caused concern in British Columbia, including the shutdown of 1130 NewsRadio Vancouver, known as CityNews Vancouver, which resulted in layoffs for journalists such as Raynaldo Suarez. This followed broader cutbacks announced on July 8, 2026, when Rogers permanently shut down six radio stations across four Canadian cities, including 570 NewsRadio in Kitchener, eliciting strong reactions from local leaders.
