John T. Howard was a programming and music figure at KVUU in Colorado Springs during the mid-1980s.
Contemporary Gavin Report Adult Contemporary pages repeatedly credited the station as “Irwin/Howard – KVUU” during 1985-86, pairing Howard with KVUU Program Director and morning personality Bobby Irwin. After Irwin left Colorado Springs for Milwaukee in 1986, Howard continued to appear in the trade press: a 1987 Gavin Report AC page explicitly identifies “John T. Howard – KVUU” in Colorado Springs.
The evidence establishes John T. Howard as the previously unidentified “Howard” in KVUU‘s mid-1980s Irwin/Howard programming credits and places him at the station across the transition following Bobby Irwin’s departure.
Southern Colorado station: KVUU.
