Gizmodo : NFL on iPod

Published on 2005-01-18 by Mark VandeWettering

In the first of what will likely be many attempts at commercializing podcasting, Gizmodo is reporting that the [NFL has inked a deal with audible.com to make their games available for download]2 via the Apple iTunes music store.

Complete recordings of games, including versions that feature local sportscasters, are expected to cost around $10 each, while highlights of games are expected to cost between $1 and $5.

Itโ€™s nice to be able to get games without the largely dreadful, completely homogenized national broadcasters doing voice-overs, or it would be if they were doing this for a better sport. The price seems a bit high to me though. Frankly, Iโ€™d probably spend $50 or more to be able to download all Oakland Aโ€™s games in a season, but I canโ€™t imagine spending $10 a pop to download them one at a time.
