>> That time slot soon became the national broadcasting standard for

>> and
>> television news programs.
>>
>> Lynne also developed and edited Harvey's best-known feature "The Rest

>> Story." A pioneer in women's broadcasting, Lynne created and produced
>> "Dilemma," a television program that became a prototype for today's
>> talk-show genre, and also a groundbreaking syndicated television news
>> feature that ran five days a week for 20 consecutive years.
>>
>> The Harveys met in St. Louis, Lynne's hometown, at KXOK, where Paul
> worked
>> as special-events director and Lynne, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of
>> Washington University, began her radio career reporting on educational
>> topics. After their marriage in 1940, they began their professional
>> partnership, with Paul in the broadcast booth and Lynne handling
>> behind-the-scenes responsibilities.
>>
>> During World War II, Paul volunteered for the Army Air Force's Air
> Cadets
>> and Lynne moved to Tulsa, her husband's hometown. Working at a CBS
>> affiliate, she became one of the nation's first women to run an entire
>> broadcast, from 4 p.m. to midnight, five days a week, doing everything
>
>> from
>> announcing state and local news to playing records.
>>
>> After the war, the Harveys moved to Chicago and radio station WENR,
> where
>> their Paul Harvey News quickly grabbed the number one Chicago news

>> slot. In 1951 ABC carried the program nationally, beginning its long
> run=20
>> as
>> America's favorite radio news program.
>>
>> It was in 1968 that Lynne decided to create a television version of
> Paul
>> Harvey Comments, which she syndicated on 100 stations around the
> country.
>> The TV program aired from 1968 to 1988.
