Howard Clark

R

Ronn

Good talent....nice guy. May he rest in peace.
His career spanned five decades and stations across the United States, including stops at WWDJ in New York/New Jersey, Oklahoma City’s WKY, WTIX in New Orleans, San Francisco’s KFRC & KYA , and a number of stations after he settled in Shreveport, Louisiana, including KVKI, KEEL, KITT, KVKI, KSYR and KLKL. Cumulus Media Shreveport PD Gary Robinson says of Clark, “He was my mentor, and a true friend.” Clark passed away from lung cancer that was diagnosed only the week before he died. He was 70.
 
Had the pleasure of working with Howard Clark during the transition of Star 95.7 to Power 95 in Shreveport a few years back, he was a true radio fan, and loved compression the classic way, thanks for the opportunity, Howard, and rest in peace.
 
Sad news.

I pestered Howard as a 14 year old radio geek and he hired me as the "KEEL Sportskid" in 1981, first appearing on John Frost's afternoon show updating high school football.

Rest in peace Howard.
 
I worked with Howard at KEEL in 1971 and he was indeed a legend. Who can forget his ID: "KFRC, San Francisco and this is Howard Clark, high at noon!" :eek:

I had the pleasure of working for Howard at KITT. He taught me everything I know and when he called me about 9 months ago when I was working at the Lite in Chicago, I had the pleasure of telling him that. Will miss him alot.
 
What an incredible radio star, that we got an opportunity to hear locally. When I was trying to get into radio, I would wait for him to come on at noon everyday on TIX-AM. He did "hot" radio, when hot was just a weather term. I remember him saying --- "I've got a fresh pack or cigarettes, a fresh pot of coffee and I'm ready to entertain you." And boy did he! He was someone I looked up to, whatta star ... a great broadcast legend! I would occasionally use his line, adding "a fresh roll of paper towels"! My engineers taught me to bring 'em, because I was a chronic spiller.
