I while ago (circa 2006) I remember an American airline (maybe AA) had a on-board entertainment channel that was tuned to the ATC-pilot exchanges. Are there other airlines still doing that? It was fun listening to all those "light chop" reports etc. before the seat belt lights chimed.

Any international operators doing that; never had a chance to eavesdrop during a long-haul flight. I'm suppose to be flying BOM-ORD next week and this will influence my ticket purchase. (I know it's at Captains discretion but still! )

We flew to LA with United once and the R/T was on channel 9.
