TuneIn’s premium live audio service is now available on Alexa-powered devices. Amazon and TuneIn’s latest partnership gives Alexa customers access to paid content, including live sports, ad-free news and ad-free music.

Sports fans will be able to listen to MLB and college sports betting by simply saying “Alexa, listen to sports.” TuneIn’s arrival on the best Alexa devices coincides with the start of the 2022 Major League Baseball season.

The service costs $ 9.99 per month, but new TuneIn subscribers get a three-month trial. If you already have a subscription, simply log in to an Alexa-enabled device.

In addition, you will be able to access more than 600 ad-free radio stations as well as ad-free news content from your Amazon Echo Show 8 (2nd Gen) or any other Alexa smart speaker.

“TuneIn aims to be everywhere you listen,” TuneIn CEO Richard Stern said in a press release. “At the launch of TuneIn Premium on Alexa, we deliver this mission and give TuneIn and Alexa customers easy access to an expansive catalog of premium content to keep you well-informed and entertained.”

The partnership marks a new phase in the TuneIn and Amazon alliance that has existed for the past seven years, offering more than 100,000 free radio stations to a common customer base.

“This is just one of the many developments we have in our smart home device product pipeline as we look ahead,” Stern added. “Through this partnership with Alexa, listeners can easily listen to their favorite TuneIn Premium shows and stations with a simple voice command.”
