Howard gave up his regular WBFO air shift in 1985 to return to the advertising industry, but has continued his association with the station as an alternate host.

Howard is a graduate of the University at Buffalo. He began his radio career while doing graduate work in broadcasting at Syracuse University. Like fellow local Morning Edition host Mark Wozniak, Howard is part of the endangered species of Macintosh computer users.
