Click here for Canada and England WELCOME! Welcome to Big Apple Airchecks on the Web! My name is Matt "Craig" Seinberg, and I’ve been collecting airchecks since 1976. My collection is both scoped (edited) and unscoped (unedited). If you see “US” next to an aircheck, it is Unscoped. My collection is broken up by State, Assorted Airchecks, American Airchexx Magazine and other special pages. This site will have audio clips, but not full airchecks posted. Much of my collection has never been traded before. I contribute to Steve West’s www.airchexx.com, Rick Kelly’s www.northeastairchecks.com and Richard Irwin’s www.reelradio.com. Trading Rules I can copy airchecks onto cassette, CD, or MiniDisc (MD), so please let me know your preference. I will take cassettes, CD’s or MD's in trade, and I prefer CD’s. I use TDK, Sony or Maxell regular series tapes for trading, and unless you ask for, and send something better, that’s what you will receive. Also, I won’t send out cases unless asked to, so you keep your’s and I’ll keep mine. CD’s are sent in envelopes, not jewel cases. Please pack everything so they won’t be damaged during mailing. I use bubble envelopes for all shipments, and can not/will not be responsible for damage during shipment due to carrier mishandling unless you pay for insurance. If we haven’t traded before, I will ask that you send to me first, and when I get your package, I’ll mail mine out. Please don’t take this personally. This prevents me from getting burnt by “dead beat” traders. I also collect and trade bumper and window stickers, and other assorted promotional items. Let me know if you want to trade any of these items. Do you want something, but don’t see it listed on the site? Just ask! I may have it, but may not have put it up on the site yet. I may be able to get it through one of my many sources, be it a fellow aircheck trader, or a contact at a radio station. Don’t have anything to trade? Not a problem. I will sell CD or cassette airchecks. A C60 , C90 or CD’s are $10 each, and that includes postage. Please keep in mind that a C90 will NOT be on one CD, so one C90 aircheck will be $20. Payment can be by cash, postal money order or PayPal. If you choose PayPal, please be aware that transaction fees will apply to the purchase, generally running 10% of the purchase. I don’t sell airchecks for a living, and will sell only if a trade can’t be arranged. Sales of airchecks support this site by paying for tapes, CD’s and the hosting fees. Your are NOT paying for the actual aircheck, but for the time, effort and supplies that go into making a copy of the aircheck. Thanks for visiting, and don't forget to sign the Guestbook! About Me I was born in Queens, New York a long time ago in a galaxy far far away… Currently, I live on Long Island, New York a large suburb of New York City. How did my interest in radio and airchecks start? In 1976, while at a friends house, I heard WNYT, the radio station of The New York Institute of Technology in Old Westbury on the Cablevision “What’s On” channel. I was curious about what I was hearing and called the station. I ended up talking to, and becoming friends with General Manager Greg Monti and Chief Engineer Dave Haber. (Greg and I are still friends today!) They got me into listening and collecting airchecks. Needless to say, I ending up attending NYIT, where I got my Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Communication Arts. While attending college, I got shifts on WNYT, with my regular shift being Sunday’s 2-6 PM doing a Top 40 Format. I also did shifts during the week as my schedule allowed, when the station did a progressive format loosly based upon WNEW-FM and WLIR-FM. We weren’t an over the air broadcast station, but we were heard on campus and the Cablevision “What’s On” channel. We had a devoted and loyal listener base, and they loved to call us on the weekend and make requests. It was during my third year at NYIT that at got an internship at WGLI. I did things every intern did; winding carts, clean, write commercial spots and bug the program director for shifts! Finally, PD Dennis Moore gave me a shot, and I had my own Saturday and Sunday night shows! I had a blast, especially doing a New Years Eve show, 1979 into 1980. I still have that aircheck, and you could certainly tell I was having a great time! WGLI was an MOR station, with lot’s of community based features, such as Swap and Shop and lot’s of remotes. Also during college I got to meet a lot of New York City DJ’s, such as Pat St. John, Jim Kerr, John Zacherle, Bob Marrone, Jimmy Fink, Tony Pigg and the late Viv Roundtree, all from WPLJ. I also had the privilege to meet legendary broadcasters Dan Ingram and the late Scott Muni. In 1977, I got to meet most of the new DJ’s at “The All New WNBC” and am still friends with Allen Beebe, Batt Johnson, Frank Reed and Johnny Dark. I also got to work at WNYG, where I was offered AM Drive by PD Kathy Cunnigham, and I also did fill-ins for at short time at WAPP. Currently, I fill in occasionally hosting "Studio 108" on WEBE 108 in Bridgeport, CT. I also produce specialty shows for an internet radio station, www.radiosamantha.com Thanks for listening, and visiting BigAppleAirchecks.com!
