Anchored in Diversity
EBC’s channels are like vibrant reefs, teeming with life and offering diverse content ranging from breaking news, a multilingual channel connecting Ethiopia’s mosaic of communities, entertainment, and engaging children’s programming. Add to this an ecosystem of radio stations like FM Addis 97.1 and FM 104.7, and you have a broadcaster deeply woven into the fabric of Ethiopian life.
Navigating Change with Octopus Newsroom
Recently, EBC embarked on a bold voyage: moving into a state-of-the-art facility in Addis Ababa. This transition wasn’t just about a new address but refreshing their newsroom operations with Octopus Newsroom. The migration included seamlessly moving their existing Octopus system while equipping them with new tools like mobile licenses to empower journalists to capture stories wherever they are and a social media module to connect with their audiences in real-time.
Overcoming Choppy Waters
Every great adventure has its share of storms. While EBC’s move faced a few “snugs and stops,” Octopus was the sturdy vessel that ensured a safe crossing. Through collaboration and expertise, the Octopus team navigated challenges to deliver a newsroom solution that meets the demands of Ethiopia’s dynamic media landscape. With on-site training planned and new opportunities on the horizon, this milestone is just the beginning of a deeper partnership.
Octopus is proud to help EBC anchor its mission: keeping Ethiopia informed, entertained, and inspired.
