In addition, all Raptors 905 games will be broadcast live on YouTube and Raptors905.com.
McPeak will take on play-by-play duties for the club, after two seasons calling the Brampton A's in the National Basketball League of Canada, becoming the first female play-by-play commentator in the country.

Currently a co-host of GameDay, weekday mornings on TSN 1050 Radio, Wheeler is also a host and colour commentator for Toronto FC, a contributor on Raptors broadcasts, as well as a columnist for TSN.ca.
Docking joins the team as a sideline reporter. Docking is a recent inductee into the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association Hall of Fame for her accomplishments with Seneca College in both basketball and soccer. She was a member of back-to-back OCAA champion women's basketball teams in 2005-06 and 2006-07 and was named a women's basketball championship all-star in 2007-08 as Seneca was awarded the OCAA silver medal.
