In May 2010, FDR Media Group Inc. was granted approval by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to launch a television channel called Bollywood Times HD TV, described as "a national, niche third-language ethnic Category 2 specialty programming service devoted to mainstream as well as art films in the Hindi-language not broadcast on other feature film channels.

"[1] The channel launched on November 28, 2011, on Bell Fibe TV as Bollywood Times exclusively in high definition (HD).

[2] The channel launched on Rogers Cable only days later in December 2011 in both HD and standard definition.

At an undisclosed point, FDR's broadcast licenses were acquired by Channel Zero.

[3][4] In January 2018, the channel was dropped by all providers who carried it (along with sister network Mehndi TV) and subsequently shut down.
