Paul Harvey… Good Day (and goodbye)

Paul Harvey

Paul Harvey Aurandt (September 4, 1918 – February 28, 2009)

Paul Harvey was an American radio broadcaster for the ABC Radio Networks. He broadcast 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 was estimated at 22 million people a week.

Harvey was known for catch phrases that he uses at the beginning of his programs, like “Hello Americans, I’m Paul Harvey. You know what the news is, in a minute, you’re going to hear … the rest of the story,” and, “Paul Harvey News and Commentary, and this is … (day of the week),” and at the end: “Paul Harvey … Good day.” At the end of a report about someone who had done something ridiculous or offensive, Harvey would say “He would want us to mention his name” (silence) then would start the next item.
