Global streaming and podcast company Zeno Media is broadening its reach across both connected-car listening and digital broadcasting partnerships with a pair of new initiatives aimed at expanding access to global audio content and strengthening monetization opportunities for stations. The company announced a major update to its flagship ZenoRadio app that adds compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing listeners to access stations directly through their vehicle dashboards.

The revamped app allows users to browse stations by country and discover programming across music, news, talk, and sports formats from around the world.

At the same time, Zeno Media announced a new partnership with modern/alternative rock “Revolution 91.7” WWHR-FM Bowling Green, the student-run station operated by Western Kentucky University. Under the agreement, Zeno will power the station’s digital streaming infrastructure across mobile, web, and connected devices.
