This is what the BBC did with the BBC micro too.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_Micro

The BBC Micro stored data on cassette and software and data were sometimes 
modulated over the TV sound channel. If you recorded the sound onto cassette, 
and the binary gods were smiling, you got a data file that could be used on a 
BBC Micro.

Magazines sometimes also issued "Floppy ROMs". These were thin 33.3 rpm 
records imprinted with the same audio data scheme, storing up to  6 minutes 
or so of data (approx 400k bits of data). 

And now the magazines have DVDs....
