Thanks to your donations, the REELRADIO site will continue to operate indefinitely. We have three items on our short-term "to do" list:

  • Sunset Real Audio by rolling out playback via in-browser audio player. By the end of the year you should start to see additional playback options appear on select exhibits.
  • Resume donations on the normal pages. This will involve some technical hurdles, so bear with us.
  • Resume updates of the "Fab 40" Hitbound chart below.

PURPOSE Founded in 1996, this online aircheck museum is operated by REELRADIO, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. The primary function of REELRADIO is archival and educational. Our focus is Top 40 radio from 1955 to 1989. Our aircheck exhibits are recordings of one-time radio broadcasts, both full-length and "Scoped". Scoped airchecks are shorter in length and do not include musical performances.

We encourage users to offer comments on our exhibits and to participate in a dialogue about Top 40 Radio, the people, the music, popular culture and history preserved in these airchecks. REELRADIO endeavors to provide a forum for discussion, commentary, education, and critique.

"... Todd (Storz) and some others were sitting around figuring out what they could do on their station and they noticed that WDSU had a program called the Top 20. And they thought if the Top 20 was successful, that the Top 40 would be even better - and that's what they said - We're going to be twice as good as WDSU 'cause we're gonna play - The Top 40."
