Farewell, Jim Howes

Jim Howes, host of the long-running, Sacred Classics program, passed away on Tuesday, September 14, 2021. Jim was host of Choral Masterpieces and King of Instruments in 1986 in the early days of WBVM Spirit FM. The program morphed into the two-hour presentation we know today as Sacred Classics which has aired for the past 35 years. His extensive repertoire of performances made him an expert in this unique genre of faith expression through choral and pipe organ selections from around the world. Jim prerecorded all his programs. The final broadcast will air the weekend of September 25-26:

Saturday at 6:00pm on 90.5 HD2
Sunday at 6:00am on 90.5 FM
Sunday at 10pm on 90.5 HD2

We mourn the loss of a true gentleman but rest in the knowledge that he is singing with the great heavenly choir in God's kingdom.
