About
Airchecks by Maverick is a collection of recordings of air personalities, disc jockeys, radio stations, and more that I have recorded myself or have traded with friends over the years. Some dating back to the 1950's.
-This is a brand new channel and will be adding more airchecks.
"What is an aircheck?" is a question I get asked from non-radio and television friends. The word aircheck is a radio industry term that means a recording/sampling of content that originated over the airwaves, or in some cases directly from a cassette deck in the studio of a radio station. Often 'scoped'...meaning only the beginning and ending of the songs are heard, featuring the on air DJ, jingles, imaging, and commercials.
Airchecks were used by the program director of a radio station to go over with the air personality to help direct and improve their show. Airchecks were also recorded by the DJs themselves to send out with their resume, to other radio stations in hopes of a job.
