Nearly two decades in radio. All of it leading here.

Nobex began as a radio companion for BlackBerry and Windows Mobile — years before there was an App Store to put it in. It carried stations from more than 100 countries around with you, with the song that was playing, the schedule and the lyrics attached.

It existed because of a small, stubborn problem: you loved a station, and then you left the car. Signal ran out long before the loyalty did.

Being one station inside somebody else’s directory was never going to be enough, so we built the alternative: native iOS and Android apps, fully branded, published under the station’s own name. Push notifications, on-demand shows, CarPlay and Android Auto, subscriptions, ad integration.

Thousands of radio stations worldwide run on Nobex Partners today — community broadcasters, college stations, multi-market groups. Some have been with us for over a decade.

The same conversation kept coming back. A station would have a beautiful app pointed at a stream held together with a PC in a back office, an encoder someone configured years ago, and a hosting bill that punished them every time the audience grew. Others had a show, an audience and no stream at all.

We were already running the hard part — audio delivery, at scale, to real listeners, every hour of every day. So we built the other half and opened it to everyone: Nobex Streaming for the station, and the Nobex Broadcaster app for the person holding the microphone.
