News Summary:
Rogers Communications announced on June 24, 2026, it will donate $1 million to Alberta children's charities through its yearly Charity Classic golf fundraiser, stating the funds provide access to counselling, sports, and family support for children across Alberta. Previously, on June 19, reports indicated that Rogers, along with Bell and Telus, opted to continue collecting a handful of new cellphone fees, despite Canada's telecom regulator, the CRTC, having warned that these charges might be illegal. This decision followed a CRTC warning issued to Rogers on June 17 regarding three specific fees, after a ban on such charges came into effect. Separately, on June 18, the CBC began exploring options for its "Hockey Night in Canada" brand, which it retained after its sub-licensing agreement with Rogers Communications ended last weekend. This development meant the CBC would no longer broadcast NHL action for the 2026-27 campaign, as it failed to agree on another sub-licensing deal with Rogers, the long-term rights holder, as confirmed on June 17.
