KC Armstrong Joins LI News Radio

• KC Armstrong, best known for his many years on The Howard Stern Show, is joining JVC Media News-Talk WRCN (103.9 Long Island News Radio) weeknights from 7-8pm, starting January 22. Armstrong arrives on Long Island toting some dramatic baggage, as he explains, “I had a real bad drinking problem. I had pancreatitis. I had been in and out of the hospital over 30 times. I bled out one time and almost died.” However, Armstrong continued, “I don’t want to say that I had an epiphany, but I realized that there are some really positive things you have to look for.”

JVC EVP/GM Bruce Shepard said, “Having someone like KC with his talent and skill set is a complete win for us. As KC’s audience on LI News Radio builds and his inspirational interviews continue to spread good vibes, his on-air style is still comfortably reminiscent of his days working with ‘The King of All Media.’ This is fun live, local and hometown radio the way it is supposed to be.” He added, “KC will broadcast live every weekday from 7-8pm live from our window studio at Long Island MacArthur Airport, and I can’t wait to hear how he incorporates the live and local with the two million people that come through the airport… that will be fun radio.”

On an optimistic note, Armstrong said, “I’m thrilled to be part of such a dynamic, live and local radio organization like LI News Radio. I’m looking forward to bringing out the best in other people on the air. I feel that that’s what my role here is. I know I make a lot of people feel really good. And selfishly, it makes me feel good too.”
