Description

At the West Africa Broadcast and Digital Media Convention (Aug 2025), Voice of Nigeria (VON), outlined how AI is reshaping broadcasting and the opportunities for international radio in the digital era.

VON, Nigeria’s official international broadcaster, is leveraging AI tools such as newsroom automation, audience analytics, multilingual translation, and smart content recommendations to enhance reach and relevance. Cloud-based broadcasting, podcast syndication, and AI-driven archiving are identified as cost-effective solutions for global engagement.

Opportunities for African broadcasters include real-time audience interaction, multilingual voice AI, and AI-assisted accessibility features, supported by strategic media-tech partnerships. However, challenges such as ethical risks, misinformation, regulatory gaps, and infrastructure limitations must be addressed.

Some key points from the resource include:

● AI in Broadcasting – Global Landscape
● Digital Feasibility for International Radio
● Opportunities for African Broadcasters
