# Vista Radio

Vista Radio Ltd. (also formerly known as Vista Broadcast Group) is a Canadian radio broadcasting company with 70 Radio Stations across Canada. The company only owned stations in British Columbia until 2007, when it expanded outside the province by acquiring an existing station in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories and launching a new one in Grande Prairie, Alberta. It has since also expanded into Ontario, with the acquisition of Haliburton Broadcasting Group in 2012.

## History

Vista Radio was founded by Paul Mann, Jason Mann, Margot Micallef, Barb Fairclough and Bryan Edwards in 2004.
On April 23, 2012, Vista announced that it had agreed to be acquired by Westerkirk Capital. With support from the new owner, Vista announced a concurrent agreement to acquire Haliburton Broadcasting Group, a broadcast group with 24 stations in small to mid-sized markets in Ontario. The deal was approved by the CRTC on October 19, 2012.
On February 8, 2024, Bell Media announced that it would sell 21 of its radio stations in British Columbia to Vista Radio. This application was approved on February 13, 2025.
