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 established himself as one of the foremost newsmen in the business.
Born and raised in Tulsa, OK, Paul began his radio career in 1933 at KVOO-AM, while still in high school. Harvey moved to Hawaii in 1940 to cover the U.S. Navy and enlisted in the Army Air Corps, where he served until 1944. After leaving the corps, he moved to Chicago and began broadcasting and quickly became the most listened to newscaster in the area.
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 delve into the forgotten or little known facts behind stories of famous people and events.
Today, Paul Harvey's News & Comment and The Rest of the Story can be heard every weekday at 7:30 & 10:50 am and 5:00 pm; as well as Saturday at 7:30am and 12:05 pm only on KWTO-AM 560!
