TuneIn Audiobook Section Will End Jan 15, 2018

[sevvere]

this really sucks. It’s all I use it for. Plus, my iOS app won’t even let me download an audiobook anymore, it instead gives me the Jan 15 audiobooks will end message.

Wonder why this has happened?

They gave a very generic statement to Android Police about it:

As we continue to strive to provide the world’s best listening experience, we are continuously working to improve the types and quality of content we offer. As of January 15th, 2018, we will no longer be offering audiobooks as part of our premium package. We hope you will come to enjoy our other premium content like 24/7 live streaming and commercial-free news with MSNBC, plus all the music channels and live sporting events throughout the holidays.

Most likely their contract expired and they didn't think it was worth renewing when they could be investing that money into more original content/additional radio stations that are more appealing to their general audience.
