	    Attention Business Editors:
	    Rogers Communications Announces Doubling of Dividend, Preliminary Fourth
	    Quarter 2007 Subscriber Statistics and 2008 Guidance

	    Annual Dividend Doubled from $0.50 to $1.00 per Share and Share
	    Repurchase Authorized in Form of Normal Course Issuer Bid;

	    Continued Solid Subscriber Growth in Both Wireless and Cable Businesses
	    Reported for Fourth Quarter 2007;

	    Guidance Established for Continued Double-Digit Revenue and Operating
	    Profit Growth in 2008

	    TORONTO, Jan. 7 /CNW/ - Rogers Communications Inc. ("Rogers" or "RCI")
today announced a significant increase to its annual dividend, the
authorization for a share repurchase program, preliminary fourth quarter 2007
subscriber results and full year 2008 guidance ranges for selected financial
and operating statistics.
	    Commenting on today's announcements, Ted Rogers, President and CEO of
Rogers said, "The actions taken today by our Board of Directors recognize the
solid financial performance and strategic positioning of Rogers combined with
our trajectory for continued double-digit revenue and operating profit growth
in 2008."
	    "We ended 2007 with good subscriber results reflective of healthy demand
in the markets we serve and the quality of our service offerings, but we also
have much work to do in continuing to develop and reinforce our platforms to
secure continued growth into the future," said Ted Rogers. "Our plan for 2008
strikes a healthy balance between the continued delivery of profitable growth,
the return of increasing amounts of our growing free cash flow to
shareholders, and the investments that will help assure such growth continues
well into the future."

	    Dividend Increase and Share Repurchase

	    The RCI Board of Directors has approved an increase in the annual
dividend from $0.50 to $1.00 per Class A Voting ("Class A") and Class B
Non-Voting ("Class B") share effective immediately. The new annual dividend of
$1.00 per share will be paid in quarterly amounts of $0.25 per each
outstanding Class A and Class B share. Such quarterly dividends are only
payable as and when declared by Rogers' Board of Directors and there is no
entitlement to any dividend prior thereto.
	    At the same time, Rogers also announced that an application for a
repurchase of its Class B shares in the form of a Normal Course Issuer Bid
("NCIB") is being filed with the Toronto Stock Exchange. The Rogers Board of
Directors has authorized the maximum number of Class B shares which may be
purchased pursuant to the NCIB to be the lesser of 15 million Class B shares,
and that number of Class B shares that can be purchased under the NCIB for an
aggregate purchase price of $300 million.

	    1. During the second quarter of 2007, Wireless decommissioned its
	       Time Division Multiple Access ("TDMA") and analog network and
	       simultaneously revised certain aspects of its subscriber reporting for
	       data-only subscribers. The deactivation of the remaining TDMA
	       subscribers and the change in subscriber reporting resulted in the
	       removal of approximately 64,900 subscribers from Wireless' postpaid
	       subscriber base and the removal of approximately 25,500 subscribers
	       from Wireless' prepaid subscriber base. These adjustments are not
	       included in the determination of postpaid or prepaid monthly churn or
	       net additions.

	    2. Included in total subscribers are approximately 4,300 residential
	       high-speed Internet and 21,200 residential circuit-switched telephony
	       subscriber lines acquired from Futureway in June 2007.

	    3. Includes approximately 2,100 and 41,800 migrations from residential
	       circuit-switched telephony to residential cable telephony for the
	       three and twelve months ended December 31, 2007, respectively
	       (2006 - 13,100 and 36,700 respectively).

	    4. Residential cable revenue generating units (RGUs) are comprised of
	       basic cable subscribers, digital cable households, residential
	       high-speed Internet subscribers and residential cable and
	       circuit-switched telephony subscribers.

	    5. Prior year high-speed Internet subscribers and RGUs have been
	       reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Internet capacity to meet increasing usage demands, to accommodate continued
expansion of its digital cable and telephony customer bases, to upgrade many
of the remaining rural systems to 860MHz bandwidth to enable the provision of
new services in those markets, and to improve the reliability, redundancy and
survivability of the cable network.
	    During 2008 Media intends to build out a new state-of-the-art production
facility to house its Citytv and OMNI television operations in Toronto, as
well as to complete the new national high-definition studio facility of
Sportsnet and to build and launch two new OMNI television stations in Edmonton
and Calgary.

facilities across the country.
