Zeno Media and BTC Bahamas yesterday announced the creation of The Bahamas’ first mobile carrier supported audio streaming service which will broadcast, over the Internet, exclusive Bahamian, Haitian, and Jamaican radio content from around the globe.

“This partnership is the first of its kind for content delivery on the carrier side and our teams are the first to address the radio listening needs of the Bahamian, Haitian, and Jamaican diaspora communities within a single app,” Morris Berger, CEO of Zeno Media, stated in a release from the company.

“We believe this unique model is one that can be replicated across multiple regions globally. With our exclusive and global licensing agreements, along with mobile operators’ network of subscribers, we have the opportunity to help broadcasters increase audience footprint and advertising revenues,” he continued.

Delivered via the Google Play Store and Apple App Store, the BTC Radio app will provide listeners with access to exclusive talk, religious, sports, and music content directly from their BTC Mobile phone or from anywhere Internet connectivity is available.

Subscribers to the app can listen to: More 94 FM, Hot 91.7, 1 00 Jamz, Beat 103.5 FM, Island 102.9 FM, and Star 106.5 from The Bahamas; RJR, N ationwide News Network, Zip FM, and NCU FM from Jamaica; and C araibes FM, R adio Télé Lumière, and Radio Télé Shalom from Haiti.

They will be able to fast-forward, rewind, pause livestreams; download/storage of favourite podcasts; quick links to favourite shows and browse archived content for playback at a later time.

Describing the launch of the app as historic, BTC Director of Consumer Operations Ben Freeman said his company is “proud to be the first mobile carrier [in The Bahamas] to introduce a radio app” that provides access to local radio stations free of charge, as well as content from other Caribbean countries like Jamaica and Haiti.

“We remain committed to creating meaningful moments for our customers. Starting today, customers can download our BTC Radio App,” he stated.
