was the founder of Rogers Communications Inc. (RCI), Canada's premier media company. In addition to cable television and other media operations, RCI owned several leading Canadian magazines as well as the Toronto Blue Jays, a Major League Baseball team. Rogers was named for his father, a pioneering force in broadcasting who established several companies of his own. While still a law student in Toronto, Rogers, Jr., acquired an FM radio station. He continued over the years to build his RCI holdings, taking on considerable debt in the process. In 1994 Rogers made his biggest acquisition, purchasing communications company Maclean-Hunter. Over the years RCI's debts were retired.
