AMN expands to the US in partnership with BiStream LLC

In a significant development, Annapurna Media Network (AMN) is set to launch its brand, ‘Annapurna Media Network-USA’, in the United States through a collaboration with the American company BiStream LLC. A formal partnership agreement was signed between the two organizations, marking the network’s entry into the international media landscape.

The agreement was signed by Manoj Basnet, General Manager of AMN, and Adrian Pokharel and Sabina Aryal, Directors of BiStream LLC. Based in Gainesville, Virginia, BiStream is registered in the state of Virginia and will also serve as the US bureau office for Annapurna Media Network.

“We have authorized BiStream to use the Annapurna Media Network-USA (AMN-USA) brand name and materials produced under that brand,” said Basnet. “This step will help Nepali media to transition into international platforms, enabling Nepalis to read, listen, and watch content from Nepal directly in the US.”

AMN currently operates prominent media platforms including Annapurna Post Daily, The Annapurna Express, Radio Annapurna Nepal 94 MHz, annapurnapost.com, and AP1 HD Television.

BiStream's directors, Adrian Pokharel and Sabina Aryal, stated, “BiStream will operate Annapurna Media Network-USA under the AMN-USA brand. In the near future, we will also offer technical knowledge training and discussions from America to help increase the capacity of journalists working in Nepal.”

This collaboration is expected to bolster the network’s global reach and enhance the technical skills of its workforce, contributing to the growth of Nepali media on the international stage.
