Well, the problem is that an inside source at this 3rd party, through
whom we purchased the air time, told us that our spots might never
have even run at all. So, even though this 3rd party gave us very
detailed log times, obviously we're very interested in verifying these
log times with another source. Unfortunately, it seems like radio
stations don't keep sponsor information or even log times for 3rd
party spots. (Sort of like a Paul Harvey kind of thing, but it's NOT
Paul harvey that I'm talking about.) So, there doesn't seem to be a
way to make sure that the 3rd party is telling the truth.

You don't have a "traffic" dept? (Traffic as in scheduling spots).

Well, I researched the FCC web site and discovered that logs are
required to be kept for 2 years, but only for tower outages, when the
call letters are announced and the time and sponsor of each "program",
whatever that means. It seems like the stations do keep logs of
advertisement log times, but my problem is that we bought the ads
through a 3rd party and we're trying to verify the log times that the
3rd party gave us, because we don't believe them. Unfortunately, if
the ads weren't bought directly from the station, they don't keep log
times or sponsor names. Sucks to be me.

Does anyone have any information on FCC rules and regulations regarding
retention of log times for advertisements?

Logs of commercials are not required to be kept.

From what I understand, the FCC doesn't even require a station to have

logs at
all.

Incorrect. Logs must be kept for:

1) Tower light outages, and
2) All EAS alerts and tests.
