Mark Kattoura’s radio recording archive list – updated 3/28/26 – tropicalairchecks@gmail.com

This site contains a list of radio recordings in digital version that are available to trade. In the media business, these are known as “airchecks,” as they were recorded to later “check” the programming aired on a particular station at a certain time. The recordings may be either “unscoped” or “scoped.”

Unscoped = a radio recording that is unedited and includes everything that aired on a station at a certain time, such as music, commercials, station ID’s and promos, contests, and DJ or announcer talk breaks

Scoped = a radio recording that may be missing some elements, such as parts of the music, commercials, station ID’s and promos, contests, and DJ or announcer talk breaks

Most of the airchecks listed here are unscoped, unless noted otherwise.

All airchecks listed are available FOR EQUAL TIME TRADE ONLY. 

I use WeTransfer and TransferNow to upload and send the files by email.

If the requesting party doesn’t have airchecks to trade, airchecks can be purchased as follows to cover digitization and website hosting costs:

Each 60-90-minute length file is $20.

If a file is 2 hours or more, cost goes by length. For example, a 2-hour file is $30, 3-hour file is $50, 4-hour file is $70, etc.

Three asterisks (***) indicate that the aircheck was added on the date the website was last updated.

List organized by: 1) market/closest market; 2) call letters and city of license; 3) station name; 4) format; 5) description of aircheck, if applicable; 6) date (month/day/year or month/year); 7) personality's name, if known or applicable; and 8) length
