I wouldn't be surprised if Citadel (owners of ABC Radio Networks) didn't use some one in house to save money (Ron Chapman? Gill Gross?). Or maybe have Paul Jr do it as he has much of the last few years. Since Fred Thompson is no longer filling in for PH, as he ran for prez, then became Westwood one's replacement for Bill O'Reilly, I would say he's probably out.
ABC for years had a cash cow in Harvey. You couldn't just take Harvey, you had to talk Harvey and ABC news and whatever else they could stick you with, usually a bunch of weekend sports updates, and other features, and sometimes the station got no compensation for the network commercials, which was not the norm for radio networks. And if you cancelled Harvey you could end up running spots for years without compensation. I remember one station that still had to run the spots from within Harvey (with Harvey himself) for a couple of years. -----Original Message----- From: wnndl@googlegroups.com [mailto:wn...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Mary Block Sent: Sunday, March 01, 2009 2:01 PM To: wnndl@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: [deadpool] and now the rest ....... Paul Aurandt being Paul Harvey's original name according to an obit I read this morning. Gil Gross of ABC Radio News was filling in for PH on and off before he got a regular gig on KGO-810.

I think he's been doing TROTS for a while now, but since WBZ doesn't run PH anymore, I'm not sure of the specifics. -----Original Message----- >From: Dennis Brumm <dwbr...@gmail.com> >Sent: Mar 1, 2009 3:06 PM >To: wnndl@googlegroups.com >Subject: Re: [deadpool] and now the rest ....... > > >Didn't Dear Abby have a daughter? > >There is apparently a Paul Harvey Jr., just waiting to carry on the >name... just gotta hear his voice first, but he should have plenty of >practice and observational data. > >On Sun, Mar 1, 2009 at 11:30 AM, <damonb...@gmail.com> wrote: >> It's hard to imagine that they won't try to find someone new.
