"If you're looking for radio experience in your on-air personalities, look no further. Meet Jack Armstrong, a legend in radio broadcasting. In his illustrious career, Jack has worked for over 25 radio stations in over 17 markets including Los Angeles, Toronto, Boston, Denver and, of course, Buffalo.
Jack's first stint with KB 1520 was back in November of 1970 when he worked with the powerhouse station until 1973. During that time, Jack held the Guinness Book world record for "The World's Fastest Talking Human". He also held the Guinness Book record for the most revolutions on a roller coaster when he road the Thunderbolt in Pittsburgh for 750 revolutions in 34 hours!
Jack's crazy personality has also led him to be buried alive, put into a snake pit, and forced to stay awake for 104 straight hours all for the enjoyment of his listeners. But don't ask Jack to do that again, he says he'll never even think about doing any of those again.
Besides radio, Jack has also done television work for Nickelodeon, MTV and various local television stations in San Francisco, Fresno, Denver and Cleveland. Jack is also in the "Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame exhibit "This Is Dedicated To The Ones We Love ... 100 Jocks from 1935 to date" where he's listed with sound for two cities: Cleveland and Buffalo"
