TORONTO -- Rogers Communications Inc. ("Rogers") announced that the previously announced split of its Class A Voting and Class B Non-Voting shares on a two-for-one basis was approved by shareholders at a special meeting of shareholders held earlier today.

As a result the two-for-one stock split, Class A and Class B shareholders of record as of the close of business December 29, 2006 will receive one additional Rogers Communications Inc. share for each share held. Rogers expects that its transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, will distribute the additional share certificates on or about January 5, 2007.

It is expected that the Class A Voting shares ("RCI.a") and the Class B Non-Voting shares ("RCI.b") will begin trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange on a split-adjusted basis on December 27, 2006. On the New York Stock Exchange, it is expected that the Class B Non-Voting shares will begin trading on a split-adjusted "when issued" basis on December 27, 2006 under a separate ticker ("RG wi") and on a split-adjusted basis under the primary ticker ("RG") beginning on January 8, 2007. Further information with respect to trading of the shares can be found in the information circular mailed to shareholders dated November 9, 2006.

It is important that shareholders retain both their existing share certificates and the new share certificates that will be mailed in early January, 2007 as these certificates together represent their Rogers holding.
