Rogers adds RTPi


TORONTO – Rogers Cable Communications announced Portuguese channel RTPi has been added to its list of multicultural programming.

From now until January 4th, Rogers Digital Cable customers can enjoy a free preview on channel 648 in Ontario.

RTPi is broadcast live from Portugal and provides an extensive mix of television from channels such as RTP1, RTP2, RTP Madeira, RTP Azores and RTP Africa. Novellas, sports, news and documentaries are all in Portuguese 24-hours-a day.

With the addition of RTPi, Rogers continues to offer the most multicultural programming in 20 different languages on 40 channels.

"As the diversity and size of our multicultural communities expands, there is an ever growing need for programming services in languages
other than English and French,” said David Purdy, vice-president and general manager, television for Rogers Cable.

At the end of the free preview, Rogers Digital Cable customers can order RTPi for $14.95/month.
