Jack Armstrong was smokin' on the night shift on KFRC. He would later head back to Los Angeles. Full video available from California Aircheck on Video #2 www.californiaaircheck.com
Yes certainly was here in australia our radio is boring a lot of no talent unfunny x wannabe comedians absolute crap all our great announcers have retired I really miss the style like Jack Armstrong that rapid fire machine-gun announcing it takes a lot of practice to be able to speak fast but be articulate and clear love it
I used to listen to Jackson on Ten-Q in Los Angeles. Most listeners aren't aware of the elements that make a station sound exciting and energized but when they all come together they hear good positive FUN. Jackson Armstrong is shown practicing an art with absolute precision. I loved hearing him on the air and thinking, "Wish I had a fraction of his talent!" He made this radio personality (me) love the medium even more. I miss him, gone way too soon.
I dunno if he reeled in his patter at this stage of his career, but a few years earlier, Jackson Armstrong was considered the fastest-talking jock in radio. There's a great example on RU-vid, "WKBW War of the Worlds 1972."
