Royal wedding ceremony available on-demand April 29
April 28th, 2011 a 2:02pm
For some, April 29 is going to be a very early morning. Canadians excited by tomorrow’s marriage between Prince William and Kate Middleton will be setting alarm clocks and getting up to watch the live ceremony set to start at 5 am EST. And with an expected global audience of 2 billion – or one in every 3.5 people – that amounts to a lot of sleepy people.
But Rogers customers need not worry. At 5 pm on Friday, April 29 and until May 2, you’ll be able to sit in front of the TV, your computer or your tablet and watch the full CBC coverage of the historic nuptials on Rogers on Demand channel 100 or Rogers on Demand Online for free. Not only will you be able to watch the entire wedding ceremony, you’ll also have access special content including pre-wedding events, and post-event highlights which amounts to more than 7 hours of royal wedding content. In addition, Rogers on Demand will have a selection of more than 15 royal themed movies available, starting at $3.99.
If you’re still keen to get up at the crack of dawn and catch the ceremony live, you can tune into Citytv’s coverage of the royal wedding which begins at 5 am EST (4CT/3MT/2PT) on Breakfast Television and continues throughout the day on CityLine, CityNews at Six (Toronto) and the primetime special, Citytv and HELLO! Canada…Your Invitation to the Royal Wedding. Royal wedding coverage will also stream live online at Citytv.com/royalwedding and the Citytv iPad app.
Busy all day April 29? No problem. You can relive Citytv’s full coverage of the Royal Wedding online until July 31.
After the wedding, you’ll be able to find special editions of both HELLO! Canada and Macleans focused on the royal wedding.
Will you be watching the Royal Wedding?

Hello there is other stuff more important in the life. Who really care about the wedding ??? The situation of Japan and Haiti is way more important than that stupid wedding.We are in 2011 we don’t belong and neither believe in queen and king anymore. BTW The Montreal Canadiens are Eliminated And The White iPhone is available in Canada. So Cate who? and William who?
Hi Michel,
I can certainly appreciate that the royal wedding does not capture the interest of every Canadian. I can assure you, I didn’t get up at 5 am today to watch. :) However, we know that many of our customers are interested in the coverage of today’s event so we wanted to let them know about our on-demand options.
As for Japan and Haiti, we care very much about assisting in relief efforts and we published posts letting our customers know about ways they can help (like through text to donate campaigns). If you want more info on how to help, why don’t you send me an email at redboardfeedback@rci.rogers.com and I’ll give you all the details.
