Little did listeners tuning in to CHUM in early 1969 realize that Jack Armstrong would soon be gone from the station. Armstrong, who joined CHUM in a blaze of publicity on June 2, 1968, did his final show there on February 20, 1969. He details his somewhat rocky relationship with CHUM management in this 1971 interview with Jon Wolfert here.
While Armstrong's stay at CHUM was brief, the time he spent there was memorable. He was really rocking the night this aircheck was made, just four days before his departure. Check out the references to WABC jock Cousin Brucie and Armstrong's editorial on student violence (management was not amused by the latter).
Jack Armstrong died March 23, 2008 at his home in High Point, N.C.
