Rogers Communications reported fourth-quarter revenue of CAD 4.2 billion, surpassing the average analyst estimate of CAD 4.1 billion. Growth was driven by a 6% year-over-year increase in media and sports revenue, anchored by expanded carriage fees for NHL broadcasts and new digital sports subscriptions. Telecom services also contributed, with wireless service revenue rising 4% as a result of higher postpaid subscriber additions and ARPU gains from 5G plan upgrades. Operating income margin expanded by 120 basis points to 29.5% on disciplined cost controls, setting a positive tone for 2026 guidance.

Starting January 28, all Atlantic Canadian customers on Rogers 5G+ plans receive access to Rogers Satellite at no additional cost for up to 24 months. Traditional wireless networks cover only 28% of the region; satellite integration ensures connectivity in remote coastal zones, national parks and rural highways. The service supports text messaging, text-to-911 and popular data apps such as WhatsApp and Google Maps. Subscribers outside Atlantic Canada on select plans can also add Rogers Satellite for CAD 15 per month. The launch follows December’s national rollout of Rogers Satellite, positioning Rogers as the first Canadian carrier to offer direct satellite-to-mobile coverage.
