Partners
BBC Radio International work with broadcasters in more than 100 territories, including many of the largest, most successful and respected services.
See below just a small sample of the broadcasters we work with:
Sirius, USA
BBC Radio 1 on SIRIUS is a unique entertainment offering unmatched in the U.S. It is renowned for its support of up-and-coming British artists, and reflects the enormously vibrant British music scene in its daily programming and special events. Its global popularity and its importance in the world of music can't be underestimated. SIRIUS music channels and BBC Radio 1 are both focused on the listener, and SIRIUS subscribers have the unique ability to enjoy this exceptional addition to our service Scott Greenstein, President of Entertainment and Sports, Sirius Satellite Radio, USA.

With this in mind we see a relationship with BBC Radio International as extremely important and are delighted to include these exciting channels in British Airways High Life Entertainment Dee McBrady, Entertainment Programming Manager, British Airways
The Beat, Canada
The Essential Selection is one of the top rated feature programs on The Beat. The show airs Saturdays from 8pm-10pm. In the FALL 04 BBM, Essential Selection ranked 2nd in that time block A12+ with a share of 10.3. With The Beat's target demographic of females 18-34, we ranked #1 with a 20.7. With A18-34. once again #1 with a 22.2 share. The ratings have always been consistent, even when the rest of the station was programmed primarily as a hip-hop station. One of the factors that makes this show so successful is that the fact that it comes directly from the BBC with a credible house DJ like Pete Tong hosting. This also makes sense as the majority of dance hit singles are coming from Europe. Finally, every Monday we have calls and e-mails inquiring about the songs on Essential Selection. What I really like is Pete will play hot house remixes of some of the pop/R&B hits we're playing in rotation. A definite 2 thumbs up!! Chris Myers, Programe Director, The Beat 94.5 FM, Vancouver, Canada
P4, Norway
We use Top of the Pops Backstage in our award winning and market-leading evening show and the show is one part of our success. Top of the Pops Backstage has contributed in making P4 leading in the evening shows in Norway. Morten Scott Janssen, Project Editor, Top of the Pops on P4 - Norway
Couleur 3, Switzerland
We like the wide diversity of the In Concert catalogue which is very relevant to the music news. The supply of material on CD as well as the paperwork provided makes the transmission of the concerts very easy. The service that BBC Radio International offers is by far the most efficient in the market in terms of concerts: quality, customer service, catalogue... Hervé Riesen, Head of Music, Couleur 3 - Switzerland
Rete 3, Switzerland
We use The Mix for interviews and sessions. The quality of the artists and music is very high. The Mix is very precious for our music work Nicola Albertoni, Head of Music, RSI - Rete 3 - Switzerland
Ras 2, Iceland
The Mix has been very useful for me through the years. I use the material from it for a weekly show called Rokkland (Sundays 16.10 - 18.00). I use a lot of the interviews and the sessions as well, and sometimes I play the new singles and the older gems. It is a good MIX of the new - hot bands and the established - old wise !
