[KyDXIn]

I see Paul Harvey on Ch. 27 in Lexington during this time. Was this a TV version of his "Rest of the Story" stories? Were they very popular?

 

[Cincinnati Kid]

I remember Paul Harvey being featured in the 1970's on WHIO-TV, Channel 7, in Dayton. It was basically a commentary of sorts. It this case, it was used during the station's evening newscast.

 

[bpatrick]

Right. It was a commentary that aired usually before the
news (I remember Charlotte and Greenville, SC airing Harvey
at 5:55) or after (as in WKYT's case), and in some cases even
during the news (WGHP used to air him about midway through its
5:30 news). Other than that, Harvey's only other TV work that
I can recall were his Bible-stories program that some of you have
asked about, and a late-Sunday-night (11-11:15) news and comment
program on ABC which ran from November 1952 to August 1953.

Is this the type of program you are remembering?

Good Day!

 

[Cincinnati Kid]

No. The one I remember was not "The Rest of the Story", but more of a commentary on current events. It had a brief opening, a comemrical (which was done by the local station) and then Harvey's commentary. I'm only familar with "The Rest of the Story" from radio.

 

[azumanga]

...a commentary on current events. It had a brief opening, a comemrical (which was done by the local station) and then Harvey's commentary.

WTVT in Tampa also ran Harvey's commentary during the evening newscast, which often began with the anchor introducing the segment and describing what Paul will talk about, then Paul's commentary, then the next segment.

When did Paul's TV commentaries end? I figure sometime in the mid-1980s.

 

[Ultimajock]

...a commentary on current events. It had a brief opening, a comemrical (which was done by the local station) and then Harvey's commentary.

When did Paul's TV commentaries end? I figure sometime in the mid-1980s.

...I recall seeing Paul Harvey's TV commentaries in WLRE/26 Green Bay as late as 1982...

 

[Charles1]

Right. It was a commentary that aired usually before the
news (I remember Charlotte and Greenville, SC airing Harvey
at 5:55) or after (as in WKYT's case), and in some cases even
during the news (WGHP used to air him about midway through its
5:30 news). Other than that, Harvey's only other TV work that
I can recall were his Bible-stories program that some of you have
asked about, and a late-Sunday-night (11-11:15) news and comment
program on ABC which ran from November 1952 to August 1953.

IIRC, Paul Harvey's show was also carried on WBMG-42 in Birmingham during the late 60's or early 70's. Of course, since I was probably the only person who watched Channel 42 back then (I was a child, I didn't know any better), it probably can't be verified.

 

[bpatrick]

I can verify that Paul Harvey was on Ch. 42; I lived in
Birmingham from 1969 to 1973. I can also assure you
that you were not the only person who watched the
station; most of our favorite shows, particularly during
our last two years there, were on CBS: "All In The Family,"
Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart, Carol Burnett, "Maude,"
and "The Waltons" (my mom's favorite). Also, we were
known to watch 42's local newscast (when they had one)
because my dad liked Tommy Charles. As for national news,
however, he preferred John Chancellor on NBC and I preferred
Howard K. Smith and Harry Reasoner on ABC.

I remember Paul Harvey's comments in the late 1970's and early 80's on WKZO-TV News AcTiVe 3 and WNDU-TV's Newscenter 16. Before that, I think WILX-Tv Lansing had them for 2 or 3 years on Newscene 10 in the early 1970's.

Bpatrick, you might be interested in hearing a radio clip of the late Tommy Charles from his first stint on Birmingham's WSGN-AM from way back in 1960. It's included in the "This Month In History" section of www.BirminghamRewound.com. Here is the link: http://www.birminghamrewound.com/features/this_month.htm

From TV Guide, Kentucky Edition:

WAVE Ch. 3 Louisville (NBC)

6:45 Today On The Farm

WHAS Ch. 11 Louisville (CBS)

6:40 Howdy, Neighbors

I think I know the answer, but thought I would check about this. Was Jack Crowner the anchor for "Today On the Farm?" Was Barney Arnold the anchor for "Howdy, Neighbors?"


Thanks!

 

[bpatrick]

To the best of my knowledge the answer is yes to both.
