The airchecks on this site were recorded off the air and are on this site to provide historical examples of Twin Cities radio. These recordings are not intended to by used by others for commercial purposes.
Some of the airchecks are off reel to reel tapes that were recorded off the air by Rick Burnett while living in the Twin Cities. Many other airchecks were recorded of the air by other people. In May 2006 the recordings started to be converted to MP3 and shared here. In addition to the Burnett recorded airchecks, there are also many airchecks that were recorded and submitted by friends and acquaintances, or acquired from other available collections. Sources are cited, if known. The contributed recordings from friends and contributors of both airchecks and other material are greatly appreciated. Without their help, the site would have many less pages of radio history. The recordings of Burnett and other contributors who recorded them off the air may show up on other sites and have may been "borrowed" and listed for sale on auction sites. This site does not charge any fees to listen to the posted recordings. The purpose of this site is to preserve some of the Twin Cities radio history.
Windows Media Player works well to play these MP3 files, and depending on your internet settings, will start streaming the file, or will automatically open the file after it is downloaded. Some files are large. Should you have any aircheck of Twin Cities radio stations, let me know and I may be able to include them at this site.
