Rogers Communications’ online video portal, Rogers On Demand, is catching on with Canadians, the Toronto-based cable giant says.

More than 46,000 users have already registered at RogersOnDemand.com, which is available to Rogers cable TV, broadband internet, digital phone, and wireless customers at no extra charge. The site saw a total of 1.8 million page views in December 2009.

“Canadians are telling us they are ready to take TV beyond the box and have already made Rogers On Demand Online a great beta-launch success,” said Rogers’ vice president of video products, David Purdy. “We’re committed to continually adding new content and partners, and given the great feedback we’ve been receiving, Rogers will be unveiling new features and functionality including live streaming, social networking and wireless access features in the near future.”
