History
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 Mehndi HD TV, described as "a national, niche third-language ethnic Category 2 specialty programming service that will feature topics of interest to Canadian women of South Asian heritage."
The channel launched on November 28, 2011 on Bell Fibe TV and Rogers Cable as Mehndi TV in both standard definition and high definition.
