Sir Creep 7,070 Posted September 5, 2022 Radio pioneer and broadcast school founder Specs Howard died Saturday morning at age 96. The Specs Howard School of Media Arts trained generations of broadcasters who made their names in metro Detroit and beyond from its founding by Howard in 1970. I’m here to tell you anyone who was anyone in radio from 1975 onward, at least in the Midwest USA, came out of Specs Howard School, among them Howard Stern. It’s about as synonymous with successful broadcast arts graduates as Syracuse University is the past 30 years. SirC 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
