AudioGO (formerly BBC Audiobooks) was a British publisher of audiobooks and a range of spoken word and large-print titles.[2] It was majority owned by AudioGO Ltd, and minority owned by BBC Worldwide.[1] It was formed in 2010, when AudioGO purchased a majority share in BBC Audiobooks,[1] and traded until it went into administration in 2013.

AudioGO published unabridged audio novels, and the BBC Radio Collection which incorporated dramatisations and non-fiction output derived from BBC Radio programmes. Novels were published under the imprint AudioGO, and BBC-sourced content under the BBC Audio imprint, the latter making up about 20% of new titles as at 2010.[1]
