Link To Lots Of Historic Airchecks, Mainly From Minneapolis/St. Paul

J

Joseph_Gallant

I have stumbled upon a website called Radio Tapes.com (htp://www.radiotapes.com).

While most of it's airchecks (which go as far back as 1924 but are mainly from the 1950's through 1980's with some more recent ones) are from stations in Minneapolis/St. Paul, you can also find a "Special Postings" page (http://www.radiotapes.com/specialpostings.html) which features radio airchecks (and some soundtracks of TV coverage) of major news events, some from networks and others from stations outside the Twin Cities area (example: Some airchecks of KNX-1070 coverage of the initial minutes after Senator Robert Kennedy was shot following his winning the 1968 California Democratic Presidential primary).

Those in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area will enjoy most of the airchecks, while those outside may enjoy the historic news coverage excerpts.
