Paul Harvey, the radio legend whose clipped, folksy deliveries resonated on the radio airwaves for more than 50 years, has died.
Harvey died Saturday at a hospital in Phoenix, where he had a winter home, a spokesman for ABC Radio Networks said. The cause of death was not immediately available. He was 90.
Harvey was an institution, whose twice daily reports, "News and Comment," as well as his afternoon program, "The Rest of the Story," paved the way for such radio news commentators and pundits as Rush Limbaugh and Don Imus.
His signature greeting, "Hello, Americans," has been widely recognizable since the days of Dwight Eisenhower. Harvey's delivery was so fluid and engaging that news sometimes ran straight into commercial, punctuated by his clipped bark: "Page 2."
His one-man network, Paul Harvey News, encompassed more than 1,200 radio stations, including 400 armed Forces Network stations, with his broadcasts transmitted Monday-Saturday. His columns appeared in about 300 newspapers.
