KVRI

It airs a radio format of Bollywood music, news and talk in Hindi, Punjabi and other South Asian languages.

[7] Robert Matas of The Globe and Mail described Maninder Gill as "a prominent figure" of Vancouver's Indo-Canadian community.

[7] The station was operating under a LMA with Radio India, Ltd., and was broadcasting from its studios in Surrey, British Columbia until November 13, 2014, when the CRTC forced Radio India to end the LMA due to rules that prohibit a Canadian company from operating, leasing, or owning, a radio or television property in the United States solely for broadcasting to Canadians, and for operating without a license within Canada.

For years, Radio India operated as a "pirate radio" station which did not get a license from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC); therefore it avoided paying copyright tariffs and license fees and complying with rules regarding the station's content.

[10] Radio India initially stated that it had political connections; Managing director Maninder Gill had mailed photographs of himself socializing with Canadian politicians.

[6] The CRTC ultimately decided that the deadline to close Radio India was Midnight Pacific time on November 14, 2014.
