Philips bought Rogers Majestic and the Philips sets were also badged Rogers Majestic.
The first station received in Toronto was WBEN 4 now WIVB which began broadcasting in the fall of 1948. My parents in Toronto bought a Philips 17" set in 1951 prior to CBLT's start in September 1952.
I have the original service information for these sets in storage. Please be patient as I locate it. Otherwise I believe it is listed under Rogers Majestic in RCC 1 notes.
Incidentally I have a Montreal manufactured RCA Victor 8T243 from 1949. I believe it was the first set manufactured in Canada. The Philips set depicted I believe is from 1950.
