Aircheck, for those not familiar with the word, is a term used in radio for a DJ show tape. Typically, the station is set up so you can put a cassette in a recorder that only turns on when the microphone switch is keyed (in other words, when the red light goes on, so does the tape recorder). Here, we have assembled some airchecks of your favorite WROV folks from over the years, as well as some station promos and other things you'll likely remember. Keep checking back as we'll be adding many more as we unearth them!
These cuts are mp3 files, most are 128 or 160kbps. Some are poor quality due to us pulling them off of old tape. If you have a cable or broadband connection you should be able to click the links and hear them as they stream, otherwise it will take a while for some to load and you may have some dropout. File sizes are listed for each.
