Howard Louis "Howie" Carr, Jr. (born January 17, 1952) is an American journalist, author and conservative radio talk-show host based in Boston with a listening audience rooted in New England. He hosts The Howie Carr Show, which broadcasts on weekdays, in addition to writing three columns a week for the Boston Herald.
Howie Carr has hosted a weekday radio talk-show on Boston's WRKO (AM 680) since 1994. The show, titled The Howie Carr Show, is syndicated to stations throughout northern and central New England and can be heard elsewhere via live streaming on HowieCarrShow.com. Carr's relationship with the syndicator, Entercom Communications, has been stormy. Starting November 17, 2014, the show will be produced by Money Matters Radio and syndicated by Global Media WMEX (AM 1510). WRKO had announced they would not carry the show but on March 9, 2015 it was announced they would become an affiliate as of March 16, 2015.
Carr has filled in for several nationally-syndicated talk show hosts, including Mark Levin and Dennis Miller.
He has also worked as a reporter and commentator for Boston television stations WGBH and WLVI.
Carr is a columnist for the Boston Herald.
From 1980 to 1981, Carr was the Boston City Hall bureau chief of the Boston Herald American, and he later worked as the paper's State House bureau chief. As a political reporter for WNEV (now WHDH) in 1982, his coverage of then-mayor Kevin White was so relentless that after the mayor announced he wasn't running again, he told the Boston Globe that one of the things he enjoyed most about his impending retirement was not having Carr chase him around the city.
