主播大秀

As Spotify announces a partnership with the 主播大秀, Karolina Joynathsing, Business Development, Digital Music, explains the details.

We’ve been experimenting with different ways of reaching international audiences with 主播大秀 radio output for a while now – whether it's through our own brands like the 主播大秀 World Service or through licensing our content overseas to third parties.

The latest example of this is a new trial with Spotify that will let users of the streaming service outside of the UK listen to a range of 主播大秀 speech radio programmes.

For a year-long period, overseas Spotify users will be able to listen to around 50 speech-only podcasts from 主播大秀 stations. These programmes are already freely available in the UK, so we’re running this trial only for overseas users. This means we can generate income for the 主播大秀 to reinvest in programmes for licence fee payers as well as reaching new audiences across the globe.

We do already offer our podcasts internationally through arrangements with third parties – like iTunes, Audioboo and Soundcloud – but this trial will allow us to test the commercial market for 主播大秀 audio in digital services overseas and will help inform our future activity.

Our colleagues in 主播大秀 Worldwide and 主播大秀 Global News Ltd are also partnering with Spotify to licence video content, enabling even more people around the world to access our great content on the platform of their choice.
