KITCHENER — Village Media is excited to be part of today’s launch of KitchenerToday.com, a collaboration with Rogers Media that gives residents in the Tri-Cities area a new home for local news in their community.

Led by Rogers Media’s award-winning news and talk radio station, 570NEWS, the digital site features local news, community events, obituaries, entertainment, current affairs, and weather.

KitchenerToday.com also features live stream video from the Rogers tv community channel. With a focus on hyper local content, audiences will get their morning started with The Jennifer Campbell Show, and stay engaged and informed on current affairs throughout the day with The Mike Farwell Show.

“The debut of KitchenerToday.com shows how committed we are to investing in our community,” said Mark Campbell, Director of News Programming, 570NEWS. “As today’s media landscape continues to evolve, we saw a great opportunity to expand our local news coverage in Kitchener, Waterloo, and Cambridge, and to continue to deliver award-winning stories that our audiences rely on.”

Village Media provides the platform to offer KitchenerToday.com on smartphone, desktop, and tablet.

Highly respected in the industry for building successful locally-focused digital news sites, KitchenerToday.com marks the third collaboration between Rogers Media and Village Media. Indicative of audiences’ desire for hyperlocal content, both HalifaxToday.ca and OttawaMatters.com, have experienced great success, reaching more than 1 million people since launch in October 2017, and 300,000 people since launch in March 2018, respectively*.

KitchenerToday.com will serve residents of Waterloo Region and Southern Ontario. Rogers Media is the exclusive advertising representative to sell the Canadian advertising inventory on KitchenerToday.com.
