Have a listen to him in his own words talking about his long career...

I helped train Howard Hughes when he joined Radio City (Liverpool) and later worked with him at IRN. He was a natural broadcaster who truly loved radio. When he read a bulletin you stopped to listen. Clear and authoritative, but also warm and accessible. Modern-day newsreaders take note. RIP Howie.

Gutted to hear Howard Hughes has died. He was a radio legend, and such a sweet, kind man.

He was truly a joy to work with, loved being on the radio, and embodied everything that is brilliant about it. He was so warm, and had a child-like curiosity about the world. Rest well, my friend.

Sad tonight to hear the great Howard Hughes has died 😢

Howard was so kind and helpful to me in 2006 when I came back to radio after a couple of years away and we worked together at Smooth FM. Back then there were just two Smooth stations - he did the London breakfast news and I did the North West.
