Rogers Communications Inc. emerged the winner Wednesday in a CRTC decision that attempted to settle a dispute over the carriage of Torstar Corp.’s ShopTV channel, experts say. 

“In think Rogers comes out as a winner,” David Elder, an Ottawa-based communications lawyer, said in an interview. 

He said the CRTC left Rogers off the hook on carriage because it does not necessarily have to distribute the ShopTV channel as an analog service.
