He first took to the air in 1940 on Richmond, Virginia’s WRVA-AM (1140), as the voice of the station-identification breaks. In 1946, Harvey joined WLEE-AM (990), hosting the morning show and later becoming station VP. Hudson’s career spanned over 60 years, and included time as VP of Nationwide Communications and time as a TV station manager. The Richmond Times-Dispatch says Hudson’s list of firsts includes hosting the first nighttime radio talk show in Richmond on WRNL in 1978, and being the first Richmond radio personality to broadcast stage-side from the Miss America pageant.
