"Stand by for...News!" That was how Paul Harvey opened each of his radio broadcasts. Listeners will also remember him for offering "the rest of the story." Harvey grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma and began his career in radio while still in high school. His program has been carried to national audiences by ABC Radio Networks for over 50 years. He was heard on over 1,000 stations and had a weekly audience of over 25 million people - making him the most listened-to personality on radio. His passing marks another sad benchmark in the decline of quality radio programming in America. He represented the best of radio, and he was one of the last of his kind. Below is a tribute from ABC News. You can also visit the website for Harvey's radio show, now a tribute page, by clicking here.
