TORONTO - Ted Rogers, creator of Canada's largest cable-television and mobile-phone company, has died at his Toronto home at the age of 75.

The founder of Rogers Communications Inc. had been treated in hospital in October for an existing heart condition.

A statement from the company early Tuesday said he was surrounded by loved ones when he died.

"Ted Rogers was one of a kind who built this company from one FM radio station into Canada's largest wireless, cable and media company," said Rogers Communications chairman and acting chief executive officer Alan Horn.

Rogers, long listed as one of Canada's wealthiest people, earlier handed over his corporate duties to Horn.
