Paul Harvey An American Broadcasting Pioneer Icon. Post by: Joeylc on March 01, 2009, 02:14:15 PM March 1, 2009 BY NEIL STEINBERG Sun-Times Columnist Paul Harvey, the most listened-to broadcaster in America, whose shows originating from Chicago were heard by 18 million people every day, is dead at age 90. Harvey died Saturday at a hospital in Phoenix, Ariz., where he had a winter home, less than a year after his wife, Lynne “Angel” Harvey. (http://media1.suntimes.com/multimedia/030109harvey.jpg_20090228_19_45_54_131-116-165.imageContent) Radio legend Paul Harvey died Saturday at the age of 90. Harvey was the most listened-to broadcaster in America and his shows were heard by 18 million people every day. “My father and mother created from thin air what one day became radio and television news. So in the past year, an industry has lost its godparents and today millions have lost a friend,” said Mr. Harvey’s son, Paul Harvey Jr., in a statement. Harvey was known for his shows, “Paul Harvey News” and “The Rest of the Story.” “Hello, Americans,” every show began. “You know what the news is. In a minute, you're going to hear the rest of the story.” Each broadcast ended with a human-interest story with a surprise ending, and his trademark extended pregnant pause: “Paul Harvey ... ... Good Day!” Born in Oklahoma, Harvey was based in Chicago since the end of World War II. His studios were on the 16th floor of the building at the southeast corner of Michigan and Wacker, and that stretch of Wacker Drive was given the honorary name of Paul Harvey Drive. Services are pending. Title: Re: Video of the week 10 R.I.P. Paul Harvey An American Broadcasting Pioneer Icon.

Personally, I do not know of a time without Paul Harvey radio news. This has just been one of those things that just are. Something taken for granted. You just expect to hear Paul Harvey on the radio. This is especially true in the mid-west farm country where I hail from. You virtually could not move from your vehicle to a business and back without missing a stroke of his broadcast. EVERYONE listened to them. He is and will continue to be an American Icon. He will be missed by many. God Speed to Paul and his Family. Another Legend has gone. Title: Re: Video of the week 10 R.I.P.

I will miss listening to his human interest stories delivered with his unique inflection and point of view. You couldn't listen to one of his broadcasts without smiling and feeling just a bit less stressed out. Rest In Peace, Paul. :139- Title: Re: Video of the week 10 R.I.P.
