AIRCHECK OF THE WEEK
For week of May 1, 2016
Edition #883

Talent: JACKSON ARMSTRONG as the THE UNKNOWN DJ
Station: WNBC New York
Date: April 30, 1978
Times: 28:52 (unscoped)
        9:30 (scoped)

Jackson Armstrong screamed on the airwaves at some two dozen stations throughout North America in many of the major markets. Strangely, however, he never worked full-time in the New York market. He did make one appearance in the Big Apple, but he didn't use his normal air name! On April 30, 1978, Armstrong appeared one time only as the "Unknown DJ" on WNBC. Filling in on the 6-10 p.m. shift, Armstrong showed New York audiences the talent that made him one of North America's most popular radio entertainers.

Armstrong died March 23, 2008 at his home in High Point, N.C. He was 62.

Note: Buzz Brindle is Armstrong's lead-in on this aircheck.
