ABC Radio Networks says broadcasting pioneer Paul Harvey has died at the age of 90.

Network spokesman Louis Adams says Harvey died Saturday at his winter home in Phoenix, surrounded by family. No cause of death was immediately available.

Harvey was a news commentator and talk-radio pioneer whose staccato style made him one of the nation's most familiar voices.

He was forced off the air in 2001 because a virus weakened a vocal cord. But he returned to work in Chicago and was still active as he passed his 90th birthday.

Known for his resonant voice and trademark delivery of "The Rest of the Story," Harvey had been heard nationally since 1951, when he began his "News and Comment" for ABC Radio Networks.

But but...dangit... now we'll never hear the rest of the story again...

This is so sad...! I used to listen to Harvey Very early in the morning when I was up at college. He really was a Distinctive voice among so much noise on the radio...

Nooooo!

I <3 Paul Harvey.

Wow....he'd been sick a while now. At least he's at peace.

Indeed.

Good Day, Paul Harvey.

I once had a 91 Chevy Cavalier that I named "Puff". It had a broken tape deck and a radio that for some reason could only pick up AM radio.
Being 16 and into some questionable activities, I enjoyed many late nights cruising around listening to the local oldies station, which during the day played Paul Harvey. I once had a pipe of a certain type, which I had specifically named "Paul Harvey at 5:00". Enough said.

I'll miss the guy.

Good Day?

I remember listening to Paul Harvey when going to school on KXYZ-1320 (when I was in grade school) & KNUZ-1230 (high school years).

He was even parodied on episodes of Freakazoid (the rest of the back story).

Good day!
