Print Media Centr launches 24/7 industry radio station

Print Media Centr recently announced the launch of PrintFM, a 24/7 global internet radio station dedicated exclusively to print and graphic communications. Broadcasting now at printfmradio.com, PrintFM delivers nonstop interviews, discussions, live broadcasts, educational programming, and event coverage.

Programming includes curated episodes from the “Podcasts from The Printerverse” library, other industry podcasters, and original content created for PrintFM listeners. The station is said to deliver breaking news, real-time event coverage, and serve as a central hub for timely information and “printspiration” for print professionals, marketers, manufacturers, print buyers, and creatives everywhere.

“PrintFM is more than just a radio station, it’s the soundtrack of print,” said Deborah Corn, intergalactic ambassador to the printerverse at Print Media Centr. “We have built a platform that delivers the insight of prominent and new industry voices, the stories of print innovators, and the energy of events directly to anyone, anywhere in the world. Tune in anytime, whether you are at home, at work, or on the go.”

Sponsored by Domtar and XMPie, PrintFM is said to foster community, connectivity, and collaboration across the industry.

“Domtar is proud to sponsor PrintFM,” said Meredith Collins, channel marketing manager at Domtar. “Partnering with Print Media Centr was a natural decision given our shared commitment to promoting the value of print and paper through education and information. Print Media Centr continues to lead the way in redefining how our industry accesses and engages with content, and we are excited about the opportunities this new platform brings.”

“XMPie is excited to support PrintFM, the first 24/7 internet radio station dedicated to print,” said Ayelet Szabo-Melamed, VP of marketing at XMPie. “This bold new initiative has huge potential, and we are proud to be part of its growth from day one. We believe in sharing knowledge, elevating voices, and connecting people across the industry. This sponsorship, like our support for Girls Who Print, graphic arts higher education, and grassroots programs, reflects our commitment to education, innovation, and inspiring the next generation of print professionals.”

To celebrate the launch, PrintFM hosted a special live broadcast on Aug. 14, hosted by Deborah Corn.

From Sept. 23-25, PrintFM will broadcast live from The Print Show at the NEC in Birmingham, England.

“We are delighted to support the launch of PrintFM, an incredibly exciting initiative for the print industry,” said Chris Davies, event and sales director for The Print Show. “The Print Show and our new sister event, The Sign Show, are very much about supporting innovation in print. PrintFM is one of the stand-out developments of the year, and we look forward to participating in the station’s first live broadcast from an industry event.”
