Rogers OMNI Television is the first Canadian multilingual broadcaster to offer this service to non-official language communities.
"A substantial segment of our audience is web savvy and has been asking for some time to see OMNI News online – viewers are looking for content on their terms, to fit their schedules," says Renato Zane, Vice President of OMNI News. "We aim to keep our viewers connected and informed with the latest news and events affecting their community, no matter where they are."
