Benztown has partnered with Zeno Media to give radio broadcasters tools for extending their reach beyond terrestrial airwaves, including streaming, digital monetization, and AI audio tools, accessible on a cash or barter basis.
Zeno, which describes itself as the “Everything Audio Company,” said broadcasters will get access to its AI-powered Podcast Bot, which converts live broadcasts into podcast content, along with SoundExchange-formatted music reports and logs designed to help US stations meet music reporting and compliance requirements.
Zeno’s streaming infrastructure is built to integrate with broadcasters’ existing workflows, the company said, and stations transitioning to the platform will receive dedicated customer support throughout the migration, aimed at ensuring broadcast continuity and uninterrupted output.
Zeno has built a string of broadcaster partnerships in 2026, including a streaming and adtech deal with Lazer Media and a June agreement with Norsan Media to power streaming across that company’s Spanish-language station portfolio.
Benztown President Dave “Chachi” Denes said, “Radio broadcasters are looking for cost-effective ways to strengthen their digital presence and generate added revenue. Our partnership with Zeno allows stations to pair the power and familiarity of their brands with a modern digital audio platform that can help them reach more listeners, create new revenue opportunities, and get more value from the content they are already producing.”
Chief Growth Officer Nikols Latuff said, “Digital listening represents an important growth opportunity for radio, and broadcasters need technology that makes streaming more accessible while giving them meaningful ways to build and monetize their audience. Our partnership with Benztown brings together two companies focused on helping radio stations sound better, reach more people, and make their digital operations more effective. We’re excited to make Zeno’s streaming, advertising, distribution, and AI-powered tools more accessible to broadcasters.”
