(Reuters) - Rogers Communications Inc's third-quarter earnings report on Thursday is set to be overshadowed by a boardroom tussle between the members of the founding family over the leadership of the Canadian telecoms company.
The spilling into the open of the boardroom spat is rare in the Canadian corporate landscape and caught analysts by surprise. It comes as Rogers is trying to boost its position in Canada's already concentrated telecoms market with a C$20 billion ($16.2 billion) takeover bid for smaller rival Shaw Communications.
