Edward Samuel Rogers
Edward Samuel "Ted" Rogers Jr., OC (May 27, 1933 – December 2, 2008) was the President and CEO of Rogers Communications Inc., and the fifth-richest person in Canada in terms of net worth.
==Early life and career==
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Rogers was educated at Upper Canada College. He subsequently attended Trinity College in the University of Toronto, graduating in 1956 with a Bachelor of Arts degree.〔(【引用サイトリンク】website= Canadian Encyclopedia )〕 When he was an undergraduate student, Rogers joined the Sigma Chi fraternity. In 1979, he was named a ''Significant Sig'' by the fraternity – the 21st Canadian to be inducted.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www2.sigmachi.org/significant-sigs-recipients?field_oc_ss_last_initial_value=R&field_hp_company_value=Beta+Omega&field_hp_univ_preferred_value=Toronto-Ryerson&field_hp_province_description_value=Ontario&field_hp_state_province_value=All&=Apply )〕
In 1960, while still a student at Osgoode Hall Law School, he bought all the shares in local radio station CHFI, which pioneered the use of FM at a time when only 5% of the Toronto households had FM receivers. By 1965, he was in the cable TV business. Rogers Communications was established in 1967 and has grown into one of Canada's largest media conglomerates. His father Edward S. Rogers, Sr. is regarded as the founder of the company, although the radio station that he founded, CFRB, is now owned by another Canadian company and competitor, Bell Media.
Rogers had been the owner of the Toronto Blue Jays Major League Baseball team since September 1, 2000, when Rogers Communications Inc. purchased 80% of the baseball club, with the Labatt Brewing Company maintaining a 20% interest and the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce relinquishing its 10% share. Since the 2003 season, Rogers owned 100% of the team. Moreover, the Blue Jays' home ballpark, SkyDome, was renamed the Rogers Centre after Rogers' firm purchased the stadium (including naming rights).〔Van Hasselt, Caroline.
