ZenoRadio is a B2B and B2C radio service that distributes live, cloud-based, interactive broadcasted content primarily through mobile devices. Founded in January of 2012, ZenoRadio’s first iteration was as a radio dial-up service that allowed users to call-in-to-listen to radio broadcasts around the world.

ZenoRadio.com is a free service that has been described as having “the best online streaming content and connect it to a U.S. phone number” and being the largest radio broadcast distributor for Diaspora communities,  or “homesick immigrants,” largely hailing from West Africa, Central Asia, and the Caribbean who have settled in the greater New York area. Ghana, Nigeria, Haiti and the Dominican Republic rank as ZenoRadio's largest ethnic media listener and broadcaster groups. Growth-wise, the 43 million immigrant population living within the United States is ZenoRadio’s potential audience for “cross border radio” engagement.

The company beta-launched it's ZenoLive product, in the summer of 2015. ZenoLive is an interactive all-in-one, customizable interactive platform for broadcasters and hobbyists to produce and manage their radio content, instantly engage with listeners, and analyze their growth, all while better understanding and directly connecting with their audience individually and collectively through broadcaster statistics, data, and trend features.

ZenoRadio has two functions: 1. As a distributor of aggregated audio content, sourced from 75 countries and reaching 1.5 million listeners a month living in 20 countries worldwide, in part thanks to a partnership with BBC World Service. 2. As a customized content producer for professional and hobbyist broadcasters to increase their reach and interact with their audience through a partnership with Radio Stream Hosting.

ZenoRadio has been described as “the number one source of radio for NYC taxi cabs.” The Manhattan-based private company provides a democratic tool that functions regardless of Internet accessibility, via both dumb and smartphone devices, (as well as directly online), and most significantly, for free. ZenoRadio services more than 5,000 radio stations. In 2013, ZenoRadio was a semi-finalist alongside fellow semi-finalists (ESPN Radio and iHeartRadio for a RAIN Internet Radio award for “Best Overall Digital Strategy.” RAIN recognized ZenoRadio for its free services accessible without smart phone or a data plan.
