Rogers Cable is buying Aurora Cable TV, and on Wednesday announced that, with the okay of the CRTC, will acquire the company, which provides TV, Internet and telephone services to the communities of Aurora and Richmond Hill in Ontario.

‘Aurora Cable is an excellent system, a perfect fit with our existing systems in and around the Greater Toronto Area, and it offers great synergies within our existing Ontario cable cluster,’ said Edward Rogers, president of Rogers Cable, in a statement.

‘Given the common borders of our companies’ cable systems…this is a tremendous opportunity for our customers and for our companies alike,’ added Jim Irvine, who founded Aurora some 43 years ago.
