Clark Howard: Mon. – Fri. 1-3pm

Host of the nationally-syndicated radio show The Clark Howard Show.

Clark Howard is a consumer expert whose goal is to help you keep more of the money you make. His national radio show and website show you ways to save more, spend less and avoid getting ripped off.

“Save more and spend less” is more than just a motto for Clark; it’s a way of life. As a successful lifelong entrepreneur, media star and best-selling author, the Atlanta-based “consumer champion” is dedicated to helping Americans of all means get ahead in life.

Clark’s career included stints in both government and private sectors. He was a civilian employee working for the U.S. Air Force at the end of the Vietnam War. He launched a travel agency in 1981 that grew into a chain with locations across metro Atlanta. In 1987, he sold the company at 31 and retired.

Clark found his way into the public eye almost by accident. While enjoying retirement on the pristine beaches of Florida, he was asked to be a guest on a radio show about travel. The response was so positive that he was given his own program, The Clark Howard Show. The show originates from Atlanta’s News 95-5 and AM 750 WSB and is syndicated by WestwoodOne.

He is a consumer reporter on Atlanta’s WSB-TV. In addition, Clark’s weekly newspaper column in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution is syndicated throughout the country.
