Triton Digital is powering SXSWfm, the official online radio channel of the South by Southwest Music, Film and Interactive Conferences and Festivals.
SXSWfm will focus on new music discovery, streaming bands that will be performing at SXSW in Austin, Texas, March 8–17. According to a release, the station will feature interviews with musicians, filmmakers, comedians and presenters associated with SXSW. It will also air post-conference programming, such as music, news and stories from past participants and other highlights.
“Our mission with SXSWfm is to make listeners feel like they’re in Austin, with access to some of the most interesting aspects of our festivals,” said Kevin Connor of SXSW.
Triton Digital is powering SXSWfm through its audio streaming suite, including its Live Streaming for high-quality delivery, the Ad Injector platform and its MRC-accredited Webcast Metrics audience measurement solution.
“SXSW has become one of the biggest events of the year uniting music and technology, and we’re excited to be involved with bringing that content to an even broader audience,” said Dominick Milano, president of publisher development at Triton Digital. “As radio and music become increasingly digital in our daily lives, the launch of SXSWfm is a nod to the way we consume media today and opens the doors to a new generation of SXSW fans.”
