RFI Coverage on the French-speaking African World

RFI January 22, 2013, Washington, D.C. — Since 2009, AudioNow and Radio France Internationale (RFI), the leading French radio broadcaster for round the clock international news, have worked together to connect hundreds of thousands of listeners in the U.S. with radio content in their native language. 


Based in Paris, RFI’s 600 correspondents around the world report real news, in real time, enabling the flagship station to be a global leader, broadcasting in twelve languages including Farsi, Swahili, Hausa, Mandarin, Vietnamese, Arabic, and French.

AudioNow, the nation’s leading radio-by-phone platform, is pleased to announce the expansion of its mobile distribution agreement which now includes RFI’s “African Signal” available twenty-four hours on any mobile phone throughout the United States.

By dialing (213) 493-0290, French-speakers in the U.S. can now listen to the African Signal of RFI without incurring long-distance fees or data charges on their smartphones.

Users have the option of listening to either the live signal (by pressing “1”) or the latest African News Bulletin (by pressing “2”) upon dialing (213) 493-0290.

“We are proud to facilitate RFI’s success in the United States. Connecting the French-speaking African diaspora to breaking news during this time of rapidly changing landscapes, is something the platform was designed for. It brings much-needed broadcasts to listeners on the go, who may be without access to the information they seek,” said George Cernat, Chief Marketing Officer for AudioNow.
