Paul Harvey, once known as the most listened to man in radio, has died at the age of 90 at a hospital near his winter home in Phoenix. Veteran ABC Radio broadcaster Paul Harvey has died at 90 years old.Harvey's career in radio spanned more than 70 years, and his shows "News & Comment" and "Rest of the Story" made him a familiar voice in Americans' homes across the country. His death comes nine months after that of his wife, Lynne Cooper Harvey, whom he often called "Angel" on air, and who was also his business partner and the first producer ever inducted in the the Radio Hall of Fame. "My father and mother created from thin air what one day became radio and television news," Paul Harvey Jr. said. "So, in the past year, an industry has lost its godparents. And, today millions have lost a friend." From his humble beginnings as a teenager helping out cleaning up at a local radio station, Harvey went on to have his broadcasts carried by 1,350 commercial radio stations, as well as 400 stations of the Armed Forces Radio Service, and was inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame in 1990.

He'll be missed. I wonder if his last words were "Goood..day".

Now he will find the rest of the story to lifes greatest question. What comes after our time here on earth?

He will be missed.

He was one of the few talk guys I could stand listening to.

I have not listened to him since the 70's. One of my biggest laughs from TV was grandpa Simpson listening to Paul Harvey on the radio in one episode. "....And that little boy that nobody liked, grew up to be Roy Cohn! ............ and now you know the rest of the story."

What a shame, I'd actually tune into our local AM station to listen to him. 90 is pretty ripe, though. Always nice to see people living long lives.

i kinda figured something was up when his son had been doing his shows for a while, but the commercials were still Sr.

i have to say though, whoever did the research for "the rest of the story" was pretty shoddy, and i hope it wasn't him. one in particular i heard was that they confused nacadotches, TX with natchitoches, LA for one of the first locations of the capitol of texas (the country, not the state).

I used to run his show when I was a board operator at KSJQ in Manteca, California. My radio career ended shortly afterwards when I decided I needed to make enough money to eat and pay rent.

This guy still had class long after the rest of the radio dial was filled with shock jocks and raving politicos.

Yeah, he and Edward R. Murrow both were class guys who would report a story without going all lefty/righty/wacko.

Now we get 'infotainment'.

I've been saying lately that the scariest movie I ever saw was "Network". Because it all came true.
