What TSC does

TSC (The Shopping Channel) is a Canadian direct-to-consumer retailer that sells fashion, footwear, jewellery, home goods, kitchen, health & fitness, and electronics products to mass-market Canadian consumers through an integrated omnichannel architecture: a live TV shopping broadcast, the tsc.ca e-commerce platform, and a mobile commerce app. The merchandising mix is anchored by an exclusive brand portfolio that includes Clarks, VitaTree, Jockey, Anna Griffin, Estate Originals, NassifMD, Spa Dent, and SunnaTan, alongside third-party brands.

The company operates a 101-250 employee organization headquartered in the Greater Toronto Area (Mississauga) and has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rogers Communications since 2019, following Rogers' acquisition of parent Shaw and prior ownership by Cablevision. TSC's platform combines a broadcast-driven discovery layer (TV programming that demonstrates products live) with transactional digital storefronts, allowing the same inventory to be merchandised via on-air hosts, web checkout, and mobile app.

The business model generates revenue through product margin on direct retail sales, augmented by three monetization levers: (1) Easy Pay installment pricing that raises average order value and conversion on higher-ticket SKUs, (2) subscription auto-delivery for recurring consumables, and (3) the Rogers Red Credit Card, a co-branded financial product that delivers cashback on TSC purchases and deepens retention inside the broader Rogers telecom ecosystem alongside the Rogers Xfinity StreamSaver bundle.
