Chuck Richardson

After graduating from Freed-Hardeman College in 1968 and from Harding University in 1971 with a major in music, Chuck was a special bandsman in the U.S. Army for several years.

In 1980 he was asked by V. E. Howard to serve as Technical Director for the International Gospel Hour and to operate his 24-track studio National Recording Co. in Texarkana, Texas.

The Gospel Hour was then distributed to about 100 radio stations weekly on tape reels in three different formats. Later in the 1980s the distribution medium was changed to cassettes.

In 1996, due to failing health, brother Howard turned the program over to Winford Claiborne and the West Fayetteville Church of Christ in Fayetteville, Tennessee.

Chuck still produces the International Gospel Hour programs. They are now distributed on CDs and are also available from the Gospel Hour website.
