10:37 AM EDT, 10/08/2024 (MT Newswires) -- Rogers Communications (RCI-B.TO) confirmed Tuesday that it will host the Warner Bros. Discovery's suite of English-language U.S. lifestyle and factual brands starting January 1, 2025. This follows Bell's (BCE.TO) decision to abandon its legal efforts to block Canadians from seeing Discovery channels, the Rogers statement noted.

Rogers will launch TV channels for Discovery ID and Discovery and will work with Canadian distribution partners to make the content widely available.

In June, Bell filed a Notice of Application in the Ontario Superior Court seeking an injunction to block Rogers from distributing Discovery channels.

Rogers was last seen down $0.21, to $52.33 on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
