BBC NewsSenior Broadcast Journalist/Presenter, BBC Partner Hub
Nov. 2015 - Jun. 2019London, United KingdomWorking with the BBC's Partner Hub, Pooneh helped manage and oversee the BBC World Service's relationship with its partners and re-broadcasters around the world. BBC World Service has hundreds of affiliate radio stations carrying BBC programmes to more than half of of the World Service audience in English. They are in North America (including NPR, PRI, and CBC), Africa, Asia, and Australasia. Within the BBC Partner Hub, Pooneh worked to deepen the BBC's relations with these partner stations by offering them BBC scheduled content as well as bespoke programmes to broadcast in their peak-time local programming schedules, thus increasing overall carriage of BBC material, and bringing further reach and revenue, while enhancing the BBC's reputation globally.
