Rogers, Shaw close down Shomi SVOD service

Rogers and Shaw Communications have announced the end of Canadian SVOD service Shomi from 30 November. While thanking customers who tried the service, the company noted the core audience remained just too small for another season renewal.

Rogers senior VP for Content, said the company will, over the coming days, be reaching out to customers about new content experiences. Rogers said it will take a loss on investment of about CAD 100-140 million in its quarter.

Rogers launched the service in beta in November 2014.
