BBC Studios, producer and global distributor of innovative and world-class audio content from the BBC, and Triton Digital, the global technology and services leader in the digital audio, podcast, and broadcast radio industries, today announced a partnership that will bring the BBC’s extensive audio catalogue and premium originals across news, entertainment, drama, and more to Triton’s Audio Marketplace outside the UK.
The implementation of Triton’s market-leading ad technology will be key to enabling BBC Studios’ international growth ambitions for Audio. By partnering with Triton, the BBC’s audio inventory becomes available to over 50 digital advertising exchanges via Triton’s global Audio Marketplace for the very first time.

“The BBC has a unique global strength in audio, with shows like the Global News Podcast, In Our Time and The Infinite Monkey Cage being beloved by audiences around the world,” said Louise la Grange, SVP BBC Audio, Digital News & Streaming, BBC Studios. “As more global audiences turn to podcasts for their news, insights and entertainment, we have teamed up with an audio partner with global reach and a product that gives us the flexibility, control, and audience insights to underpin our growth efforts outside the UK.”
BBC Studios will also take advantage of Triton’s Manadge, a robust analytics tool that provides detailed visibility into campaign performance, empowering publishers with data-driven insights to optimise advertising strategies.
