About us

Connecting the world through radio broadcasting. Our mission is to bring diverse cultures, music, and perspectives to listeners everywhere.

Our Story

GlobalBeats Radio was founded in 2023 by a team of radio enthusiasts and technology experts who shared a passion for global culture and international broadcasting. What started as a weekend project to solve a personal problem - difficulty accessing quality international radio content - has grown into a comprehensive platform serving listeners in over 100 countries.

Our founding team recognized that while the internet had made vast amounts of content accessible, international radio remained fragmented and difficult to discover. Many excellent stations from around the world had limited online presence or were buried in hard-to-navigate websites.

Today, we're proud to offer one of the most diverse and carefully curated collections of radio stations available online, with over 50 premium stations from 25+ countries. Our platform represents thousands of hours of research, testing, and partnerships with broadcasters worldwide.
