More EOD from Rogers as election approaches


TORONTO – With 11 days left in the campaign, Rogers Cable is adding more and more content to Election on Demand 2006.

As reported in December, Rogers decided to deploy its video on demand servers in a neat way not seen before, adding video content from CPAC, Rogers Television and candidates themselves that digital cable customers can call up and watch whenever they want.

The service is free to Rogers Digital Cable customers on channel 100.

"In battleground Ontario, the demand for election-related information has been overwhelming," says David Purdy, vice president and general manager of television for Rogers Cable. "As Ontarians head to the polls on the 23rd, they are looking to really understand what’s on the line at the local level and what their choices are for representation on the Hill. Election On Demand 2006 provides our viewers with the information that they need to make a knowledgeable decision at the polling station."

Thanks to recently-added content from Rogers Television, Ontarians can access important information on their local candidates including 50 local all-candidates debates, 29 local riding portfolios and eight Goldhawk Live shows to Rogers Election On Demand 2006.
