Palm Coast Data (PCD), the Florida-based provider of subscription and ecommerce fulfillment services to magazine publishers including F+W Media, MotorTrend Group and New York Media, has been sold by former longtime owner AMREP Corp. in exchange for $1 million in cash. The buyer, Studio Membership Services LLC, is a newly formed subsidiary of Irish Studio LLC, the venture-backed, Dublin- and New York-based publisher and PCD client whose portfolio includes IrishCentral.com, Irish Tatler and Food & Wine Ireland, among other brands.

For AMREP, the sale means an exit from the media services business, a space it had operated in since its 1969 acquisition of... Continue reading at 'Folio Magazine'
