TORONTO, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Launching just over one month ago, Rogers On Demand Online Beta has quickly become a hot web destination for hundreds of thousands of Canadians. In December 2009 alone, the site saw close to two million page views. Already, more than 46,000 Canadians have registered at www.rogersondemand.com, and those numbers continue to grow daily.

Available free to all Rogers Cable, Rogers Wireless, Rogers Hi Speed Internet and Rogers Home Phone subscribers from any streaming Internet connection across Canada, Rogers On Demand Online Beta is Canada's best source of authenticated, aggregated, premium video content online. Backed by Rogers' superior network and content selection and its continuous innovation, outstanding speed, quality and technology, Rogers On Demand Online is quickly becoming the best online destination in Canada for primetime and specialty TV programming, movies, sports and web-only exclusive content.

"With over 1.8 million Rogers On Demand Online page views in just over one month, Canadians are telling us they are ready to take TV beyond the box and have already made Rogers On Demand Online a great Beta launch success," says David Purdy, Vice President, Video Product Management. "We're committed to continually adding new content and partners, and given the great feedback we've been receiving, Rogers will be unveiling new features and functionality including live streaming, social networking and wireless access features in the near future."

In late November 2009, Rogers On Demand Online launched with more than 20 partners, featuring a video library with more than 1,000 hours of content. Since then, Rogers has signed content agreements with new partners including Alliance Films, Canada's largest distributor; Ride Guide Productions; a weekly snowboard, freeski and mountain bike television series; and has also added new content including primetime programming from Global Television, History Television and Showcase. In addition, Rogers TV programming, featuring Structures, the unique, award-winning architecture and history series showcasing Toronto buildings and heritage that invites viewers to take a fresh look at their surroundings; and Toronto Dining, the guide to the city's thousands of fine restaurants for an insiders' look at how Toronto's top chefs create their delicious dishes, is now available on Rogers On Demand Online.
