Airchecks with songs?

R

redsea

Hi everyone, not sure if these exist, but I figured I would ask. Are there any airchecks that leave the full songs playing throughout? I thought it would be cool just to listen to one for a few hours as if you were listening to the radio now. I would be interested in ones from 2011.

Also, I would be interested in any CHR/Hot AC airchecks from 2011 in general, if you can recommend a good place for that.

Thanks!
 
You're asking a dangerous question there.

The longtime repository of historic top-40 airchecks, ReelRadio, is fighting a legal battle with the RIAA (the record industry) over the inclusion of full-length songs in airchecks made available for on-demand streaming. For the past several months, ReelRadio has been reduced to pre-selecting airchecks and creating a pre-sequenced stream which the listener has no control over, augmented by the "scoped" versions on-demand.

So if you find any sites with "music intact" airchecks, don't be surprised if the RIAA finds them as well.
 
Truthfully, based on the law, the RIAA is right, and ReelRadio is wrong.

The problem in my opinion is in the law, which was basically written by the recording industry, and they got everything they wanted. Chances of that law changing into something more realistic isn't very good.
