History of 105.9 The Region
Bhupinder Bola’s received an application from Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) on September 11, 2012, to operate a new commercial FM undertaking in Markham. It was officially launched on February 5, 2014. FM has also expressed interest in testing HD Radio. The testing purpose is to offer time-shifting for its audience if they missed earlier programming.
