'''John Clinton Formby''', known as '''Clint Formby''' (December 22, 1923 – July 31, 2010), was a veteran [[radio]] broadcaster called the "Old Philosopher" based in the small city of Hereford in Deaf Smith County (pronounced DEEF) in northwestern [[Texas]]. His daily broadcast ran continuously on his PAN AM & FM [[Country music]] station since October 10, 1955. Eventually reduced to five minutes in length, Formby's commentary was the oldest continuously-running broadcast by a single host in radio history.<ref name=brickey>{{cite web|url=http://www.lubbockonline.com/stories/030608/loc_254328517.shtml|title=Henri Brickey, Hereford radioman still going after decades|publisher=''The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal,''|date=March 6, 2008|accessdate=December 21, 2009; no longer on-line}}</ref>
