Rogers Cable today announced that it will begin offering RAI International to its Rogers Digital Cable customers starting June 2, to coincide with Festa Della Republica, the Italian National Day. This announcement follows The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) decision to include RAI International on the eligible list of satellite services.
RAI International is a 24-hour international programming service of Italy's public broadcaster targeted at Italian-speaking communities. It offers a broad range of programs including feature films, news and entertainment. RAI International is currently available in 238 countries around the world, including the U.S., Latin America, Europe and Asia.
According to Phil Lind, Vice Chairman, Rogers Communications Inc., "We are thrilled that the CRTC has made their decision to include RAI International on their list of eligible channels in Canada. We will be able to satisfy pent up demand for this programming."
"Rogers continually strives to bring programming to our customers that other television providers do not offer," said David Purdy, Vice-President and General Manager, Television for Rogers Cable. "We plan to offer the service and are pleased to be the first in Canada to offer RAI International. We continue to offer our customers the most multicultural programming with 29 channels, as well as, the most movies, and the most sports of any provider."
Pricing details will be available when the service launches.
