The BBC World Service has expanded its digital reach through a renewed partnership with Zeno Media, making BBC World Service and BBC News Hausa content available globally via Zeno.FM and Zeno Radio.

The collaboration gives audiences around the world free access to BBC’s trusted journalism and signature programming through Zeno’s fast-growing global audio platform.

Listeners can now stream BBC World Service English and BBC News Hausa on Zeno.FM, featuring flagship English-language programs such as The Newsroom, The Documentary, and The Climate Question. Meanwhile, Hausa-speaking audiences can enjoy the acclaimed current affairs show Shirin Yamma, offering breaking news, in-depth analysis, and audience perspectives from across Africa and beyond.

With over 40 million listeners worldwide, Zeno Media provides a powerful platform for extending BBC content to new audiences, especially across Africa and South Asia, where Zeno continues to experience strong growth.

“We are excited to grow our partnership with Zeno, expanding our digital reach among English and Hausa-speaking audiences globally,” said Ayesha Chowdhury, Senior Manager, Global Digital Partnerships Lead at BBC World Service. “This collaboration helps us engage younger, digital-first listeners and ensure our trusted journalism is accessible wherever they are.”

Nikols Latuff, Vice President of Growth at Zeno Media, added:

“Making quality content easily accessible to diaspora communities is central to our mission. We’re proud to bring Zeno audiences an even wider selection of world-class programming, now including BBC World Service content, for those who turn to Zeno for connection and trusted storytelling.”

The move marks another step in the BBC’s ongoing effort to expand access to impartial news and storytelling through innovative digital partnerships, reinforcing its presence across diverse linguistic and cultural audiences.
