a belated but very deserving birthday wish
Posted on September 8th, 2008 by peter k. o'connell, your friendly, neighborhood voice-over talent
Thursday, September 4 was ABC Radio broadcaster Paul Harvey’s 90th birthday.
And he is still on the air.
And his ratings are still unbelievable (promoted as “the most listened-to newsman in the world”.)
And he is still one of the top paid of ALL American broadcasters.
While missing his dear wife Angel, who died only recently, Paul continues an active although somewhat lessened broadcast schedule.
He is an icon….truly an icon in the world of broadcasting.
Not an icon of radio or TV. Not of national or international work.
Paul Harvey is an icon in the world of broadcasting.
Since you’ve heard him, you know why.
And if you haven’t heard him, listen. Do it now.
Happy birthday, Mr. Harvey. Good day!
Happy Belated Birthday Paul Harvey!
He was part of my morning routine when growing up listening to the radio. I’ll never forget his timing and cadence as well as heart warming stories.
Thanks for this, Peter 🙂

Best always,
