Longtime Triangle sports anchor Mark Armstrong signs off. Is he one of the last of his kind?

Posted May 23, 2021
When Mark Armstrong took over the sports anchor position at WTVD in 2004, he fired his agent not long after he arrived in Raleigh. There was no other television job he wanted. It's probably the last one he'll have. Armstrong's last broadcast is Monday, and he's not leaving for another station, nor is he leaving the area. He's leaving the business entirely. (MSN.com)
