"I am personally very grateful to the late great Mr. Ted Rogers who encouraged me to launch the first ever South Asian Canadian television series on ROGERS cable in Toronto. At that time ROGERS studio on Adelaide St. in Toronto had no colour cameras. To me he is an exceptional role model and an extraordinary visionary. Our strong association with ROGERS continued when they acquired CFMT channel 47, where we had developed the South Asian Programming. CFMT is now flourishing as Omni. Our congratulations to ROGERS for the bold and successful acquisition of Shaw Cable. We are thrilled to deepen our partnership with ROGERS and bring even more of ATN's award-winning and exclusive content, to a huge South Asian community in Western Canada" said Dr. Shan Chandrasekar, President & CEO of ATN.
