In 2010, Formby's Monday-Saturday program marked its 60th year on the air. Officially known as the "Day-By-Day Philosopher," the program ran for fifteen minutes from 7:45 to 8 a.m. for the first ten years and during the peak of radio drive time. In later years, Formby reduced the time to five minutes, saying that listeners now have too short of an attention span to justify a longer broadcast. It was the longest-running daily radio broadcast by an individual in America. "The Old Philosopher," as he was usually known, was featured on [[NBC]]'s ''The Today Show'' on December 29, 2007.<ref name=top/> Formby claimed to have not missed a broadcast in more than 16,000 consecutive mornings.<ref name=top/> His "Most Beautiful Alley" contest raised $89,000 in scholarship money for students attending the Hereford campus of the two-year Amarillo College.<ref name=top/>​
