Rogers' Radio Silence: A Warning Sign for Canadian Media Rogers Communications' decision to shut down six radio stations across four cities Vancouver, Calgary, Halifax, and Kitchener is a stark reminder that even the largest media companies are not immune to the challenges facing the industry.

At first glance, the decision appears to be a straightforward business call. However, closer examination reveals that this is more than just a routine cost cutting exercise.
