Saturday November 1, 2008
The Canadian Press
Ted Rogers has handed over the reigns of Rogers Communications after being admitted to hospital.
The 75-year-old Rogers has what the company calls an "existing cardiac condition."
The self-made billionaire will temporarily step aside as CEO with Rogers board chairman Alan Horn filling in on an interim basis.
The company says the length of Rogers' leave will be determined by his overall health and medical progress.
Rogers last spoke publicly as recently as Tuesday during a conference call.
Rogers Communications, which he and his family control, is Canada's largest cable T-V operator and cellphone company worth about 18.3 billion dollars.
It now owns the Toronto Blue Jays and their home the Rogers Centre, five Citytv stations, as well as the Rogers cable, wireless, radio and television businesses.
