PAUL HARVEY
Name: Paul Harvey Aurandt
Born: September 4, 1918 Tulsa, Oklahoma
Paul Harvey Aurandt (born September 4, 1918), better known as Paul Harvey, is an
American radio broadcaster for the ABC Radio Networks. He broadcasts News and
Comment on weekday mornings and mid-days, and at noon on Saturdays, as well as
his famous The Rest of the Story segments. His listening audience is estimated
at 22 million people a week. Harvey likes to say he was raised in radio
newsrooms.
The most noticeable features of Harvey's idiosyncratic delivery are his dramatic
pauses, quirky intonations and his folksiness. A large part of his success stems
from the seamlessness with which he segues from his monologue into reading
commercial messages. He explains his enthusiastic support of his sponsors as
such: "I am fiercely loyal to those willing to put their money where my mouth is."
Harvey is the second-oldest syndicated radio personality in America; the oldest
is George Putnam.
