NY Post: Paul Harvey to be replaced?

[Doug Drown]

Reading all these posts makes me wonder the obvious: Why isn't Paul Harvey's
son under consideration as his successor?   And if not Paul Jr., would
Paul's old stand-in Bill Deal be a possibility?  I think he went to WTMJ in
Milwaukee when he left ABC a few years back.
