On February 21, 2018, Proximus announced that it had reached an agreement with Stingray Digital to launch Stingray Hits on Proximus' television service in Belgium with two channels, one in French and one in Dutch. Several months later, the channel launched in Canada in French on the Vidéotron service. Initailly launched in high definition, the channel launched a standard definition feed later when it launched on Bell Fibe TV in August 2018.
In March 2020, after initially operating as an exempted service in Canada, the CRTC approved a formal discretionary service license for Stingray Hits. Although submitted by Stingray as being a French-language service, the CRTC classified the channel as an English-language service due to a determination that only 40% of the channel's content was actually in French, however, the channel's internal programmed bumpers and programming blocks are in French.
