    If I’m not mistaken, I remember Paul Harvey also having syndicated TV commentaries which were part of local TV newscasts at one time…..maybe in the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s.

    Does anyone else remember that ?

    Yes I recall that even at a very young age in the ’70′s. Paul Harvey was on WJET TV when Bob Sutherland was the anchor. It was probably an ABC affiliates only deal or something to carry Paul.
