have any airlines in the USA ever offered inflight radio with the option to hear air traffic control chatter?

 

If any of them have in the past, do any of them still offer this to listen to while traveling?

I think United did this, not sure if they still do. Unfortunately seems like the kind of thing paranoid people would try to get banned so the "terrorists" couldn't use it.

United still offers Channel 9, but it is up to the discretion of the captain. The last UA flight I was on, Ch. 9 was not available. I believe they were to have rolled this out to the old CO fleet as well, but I have never heard it yet on a CO flight.

guy44137 has it right.  Just had Channel 9 on a UA A320 the other day.  All CO jets are supposed to get this too, but I have not seen it implemented anywhere yet.
