Paul Harvey, America's most listened to broadcaster.
Paul Harvey is often referred to as "the most listened to man in radio." A strong champion of patriotism, Paul Harvey began broadcasting on the ABC Radio Networks in 1951 with "Paul Harvey News and Comment." In 1976, he launched the "Rest of the Story," which often provides touching accounts of heroism and love of country. Today, more than 19 million radio listeners tune in to Paul Harvey each day.
Paul Harvey began his radio career in 1933 at KVOO-AM, Tulsa. Following graduation from the University of Tulsa, Harvey served as a station manager in Salinas, Kansas, as a newscaster in Oklahoma City, and as a roving reporter in St. Louis. In 1940, Harvey moved to Hawaii to cover the U.S. Navy as it began to concentrate its fleet in the Pacific. He was returning from that assignment when Pearl Harbor was bombed. Harvey enlisted in the Army Air Corps, where he served until 1944.
Paul Harvey went on to launch the coast-to-coast broadcast of "News and Comment" in the early 1950s on ABC Radio Networks. In the mid-'70s, Harvey began "The Rest of the Story," a series written by his son, Paul Harvey II. Harnessing the words, "Hello, Americans," Paul Harvey's voice and style is recognized by listeners of all ages.
He has received numerous awards during his long career, including four "Marconi Awards" from the National Association of Broadcasters.
