BFBS Selects Synamedia to Build Next-Generation Digital Platform for UK Armed Forces

BFBS (British Forces Broadcasting Service) has announced the selection of Synamedia as its technology partner to deliver a next-generation global digital platform, following an international tender process launched in February 2025. The announcement follows the Ministry of Defence's renewal of BFBS's contract for a further ten years.

The new platform, working under the title The Hub, will consolidate BFBS services into a single streaming experience accessible across multiple devices in secure and remote military environments. The programme will launch in phases and will introduce new content formats beyond traditional broadcasting, with personalised and secure access. Digital transformation consultancy Spicy Mango supported the evaluation process.

This is a defining moment in the evolution of BFBS. Following a highly competitive global process, we are delighted to be partnering with Synamedia to bring our vision of our digital media platform to life. Our goal has always been to ensure the UK Armed Forces and their families can access trusted media experiences wherever they are, be that on ships, bases, or in remote locations worldwide. This partnership gives us scale and the technological function to deliver on that promise, representing an innovative change in how we offer content in a personalised and secure way, says Ben Chapman, CEO, BFBS.

With the digital transformation of its content platform, BFBS has a bold vision and an innovative roadmap to make it a reality. Our cloud-native end-to-end technologies, streaming and content delivery capabilities, security expertise and professional services team are ideally suited to complex transformation projects just like this. We will enable BFBS to focus its investment where it has the greatest impact, including delivering a distinctive, high-quality user experience wherever they might be, says Paul Segre, CEO, Synamedia.
