TuneIn Radio is going premium and it is getting rid of the commercials and adding even more content. For $7.99 per month, users will have access to radio stations all over the world, audio books and live Major League Baseball and Premier League soccer games, Tech Crunch reports.

TuneIn is one of the most popular live radio apps for both iOS and Android. Both TuneIn and iHeartRadio allow users to listen to their favorite radio stations no matter where they are located. This means out-of-state or even out-of-country stations can be heard as long as there is an active Internet connection.

TuneIn offers a pro version of its app for $9.99, but all the pro version did was remove banner ads and added a recording feature. 

The $7.99 TuneIn Premium subscription gives users access to its 600 radio stations and will allow users to hear them without any pesky commercial breaks. When these stations go to commercials, TuneIn Premium will play music over the top of these vocal advertisements. TuneIn Premium will learn users' music preferences based on the stations they listen to. TuneIn might have to reimburse these stations for putting music over their advertisements with some sort of revenue sharing program.

TuneIn has signed deals with the MLB and the Premier League, giving users live play-by-play of their favorite baseball and soccer teams. TuneIn Premium is also adding team specific channels with additional analysis.

The final feature coming from TuneIn Premium is an audiobook library, allowing 40,000 audiobooks to be streamed over the service. TuneIn Premium inked deals with publishers Penguin Random House and HarperCollins.

These three new features could be nice for three very different people. For music listeners, ad-free radio will be very valuable. Sports fans will love the live play-by-play of their favorite teams when traveling. Finally, people who normally purchase audiobooks will really enjoy the unlimited access to 40,000 books.

According to CNET, TuneIn has 60 million active users every month. The company hopes that some will elect to use the premium service.
