About Aircheck Radio

Celebrating the Legends of Top 40 Radio

Step into a time machine and journey back to an era when radio was king! Before MTV, before the iPod, and before digital streaming, radio DJs were the ultimate tastemakers, guiding listeners through the biggest hits and creating unforgettable on-air moments. It was a time when local radio stations battled fiercely for the top spot on the dial, and DJs weren’t just voices behind a microphone—they were trusted friends, entertainers, and local celebrities.

At Aircheck Radio, we bring that golden era of radio back to life. Our 24/7 streaming audio museum features an extensive collection of unscoped airchecks from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, transporting you to a time when radio was a cultural force like no other. Whether it was the high-energy countdowns, the witty on-air banter, or the excitement of breaking new hits, we preserve and share these moments exactly as they sounded decades ago.

Our Mission: Keeping Radio History Alive

Aircheck Radio was founded by a group of dedicated radio enthusiasts and former broadcasters who share a deep appreciation for the legacy of Top 40 radio. Recognizing the importance of preserving these classic broadcasts, we launched AircheckRadio.us as a listener-supported, 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization committed to archiving and showcasing these priceless recordings.

We meticulously curate, restore, and stream these unscoped airchecks—recordings that capture the full magic of radio, including the DJs, jingles, commercials, and contests that made each station unique. Our audio exhibits span small, medium, and major markets across North America, featuring legendary personalities who shaped the sound of radio for generations.
