Paul Harvey has said that he was raised in radio newsrooms. During his time in those newsrooms, he has broadcast the news to millions, built an active professional life and created an awesome reputation!
Born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mr. Harvey began his radio career in 1933 at KVOO-AM, Tulsa, while still in high school. When he attended the University of Tulsa, he continued working at KVOO as an announcer, then as a program director.
His first newscasting job was at KOMA-AM in Oklahoma City, then moved on to KXOK-AM, St. Louis, where he was Director of Special Events and a roving reporter.
Mr. Harvey moved to Hawaii in 1940 to cover the U.S. Navy as it began to concentrate its fleet in the Pacific. He was returning to the United States from that assignment when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. Paul Harvey enlisted into the Army Air Corps, where he served until 1944.
After leaving the corps, Mr. Harvey moved to Chicago, where in June 1944, he began broadcasting from the ABC affiliate WENR-AM. He quickly became the most listened to newscaster in Chicago.
Paul Harvey reached audiences way beyond the windy city in 1951, when he began his coast-to-coast News and Comment on the ABC Radio Networks. On May 10, 1976, Mr. Harvey began another series of programs on the ABC Radio Networks entitled The Rest of the Story which delves into the forgotten or little known facts behind stories of famous people and events.
Today, Paul Harvey News and Comment can be heard Monday through Saturday, and The Rest of the Story, Monday through Saturday. Paul Harvey News can be heard on 1240 WNBZ every weekday at 8:30am, and 12:30pm. The Rest of the Story can be heard every weekday evening at 5:10pm.
Mr. Harvey is married to the former Lynne (Angel) Cooper of St. Louis. They have one son, Paul Jr.
