News Summary:

Rogers Sports & Media partnered with XroadMedia to integrate AI-powered personalization across its entertainment streaming services, discovery+ and Citytv+.

Previously, on August 14, 2026, Rogers ended "Hockey Night in Canada Punjabi" broadcasts, an OMNI TV production, after an 18-year run, stating the show would not return when the NHL season resumes this fall. This followed layoff notices issued by Rogers Sports & Media to more than 20 employees at its multicultural broadcaster Omni Television on August 4, 2026, as part of a previously announced workforce reduction. In response to these job cuts, the Canadian Association of Journalists' (CAJ) Canadian News Industry Peer Support (CNIPS) program hosted a special group session on July 28, 2026, to support media workers impacted by layoffs at Rogers Sports & Media and Corus Entertainment.
