XM Satellite Radio / Audible Store now Online!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!
