I don't see his act playing in a top 100 market these days. Might do OK on a 5000 watt station out in West Texas.

I always hoped his son would continue the show. That would have been a long run of his show had he continued it. I just looked at his website, and it says a memoir is in the works, and Paul, Jr. has some of his music for sale.

Sorry, Big Tex. He would be welcomed in any market today. My opinion. It wasn't an act.

Think about this...

Our previous host, Mr. McCarthy, had many of the qualities of Paul Harvey. Don't think KMc wants that gig; but he could have nailed it, if he wanted to...

Sorry, Dancer. I think the time for his kind of show has come and gone.

In a major market.

In what way?

He had a quirky little radio spot with a quirky little voice..how and why am I looking for someone like that?

Even in the way he said his own name!

..and don't worry..Curmudgeons are never quirky..just..curmudgeonly.
