This is Armstrong’s second retirement from Christian radio. After more than 10 years at WRXT/Roanoke (PAR) he retired from Spirit FM and PAR in July of 2013. In August of 2014 he was hired by Liberty University to reformat and rebrand Liberty’s Victory Radio Network.

Armstrong managed his first CCM radio station, WQFL/Rockford IL, from 1985-1990 before a short stint in Christian TV. On his departure from Christian Radio Armstrong says, “About 2 1/2 years ago, I walked in this door to watch as God assembled an awesome team. We were tasked with reformatting and rebranding an already historic radio station. What an incredible ride this has been! I must say thanks to my friends in Christian radio, so many of whom have been a source of ideas, inspiration and encouragement.”
His last day will be December 30th.
