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.
