At Aircheck Radio, we celebrate and preserve unscoped airchecks—the full, unedited experience, just as listeners heard it back in the day. These recordings are invaluable audio time capsules, allowing you to…
✔ Hear legendary DJs in their prime, just as they entertained audiences decades ago.
✔ Experience the music, jingles, commercials, and station promotions that shaped the culture of their time.
✔ Revisit radio’s competitive and dynamic history, where each station fought to win over listeners.
Aircheck Radio is more than just a website—it’s a living, breathing tribute to the power of radio and the voices that shaped our musical and cultural history. But maintaining a vast online repository like this requires significant resources.

✅ Expand our collection with new airchecks from across North America.
✅ Improve the listening experience with better search, curation, and organization.
✅ Cover costs for transcribing, editing, and maintaining high-quality audio files.

Aircheck Radio thrives on the generosity of radio enthusiasts, collectors, former DJs, and industry professionals who share their treasured aircheck recordings with us. These unscoped airchecks—which include the DJ banter, commercials, jingles, station promotions, contests, and music—are invaluable. They preserve the true sound and spirit of radio as it was heard live, capturing the magic of the medium in a way that scoped airchecks (where the music is removed) simply cannot.
By contributing unscoped airchecks, you are:
✅ Helping preserve broadcast history for future generations.
✅ Providing a more immersive listening experience for those who remember these eras fondly.
✅ Ensuring legendary DJs and classic radio moments are never forgotten.
If you have unscoped airchecks, we invite you to share them with us. Your contributions will become part of our expanding online audio museum, keeping the rich history of radio alive.
