XM/Audible Store now available
TAGS: XM Audible AudibleReady/XM Opie and Anthony Bob Edwards
Looks like Audible.com has now started offering XM programming, part of the XM/Audible deal announced back in June. You can get full-length episodes of both the Bob Edwards Show and Opie and Anthony, albeit a somewhat limited selection (so far there’s only 6 O&A episodes dating back to July 26 and 26 BES episodes from throughout the year, mostly from the summer).
Each episode costs $2.95/each, or you can also subscribe to each show (1-month at $12.95 per show and a 1-year subscription at $69.95 per show). This is just the first part of a happy Audible/XM relationship, with the AudibleReady/XM handhelds expected in 2006, subscribers will be able to purchase audiobooks and Podcasts from Audible and listen to it seamlessly next to Satellite Radio content. Good stuff.
Thanks Vyse!

Yeah, not really very cost effective considering you'd get 149 other channels for the same price. But for people who JUST want O&A or BES and don't want to pay for a satellite radio, I guess it's OK.
