Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo versus KYW-TV News Anchorman Stan Bohrman 11-10-80.flv


THIS IS THE FULL-LENGTH VERSION OF THE "I-TEAM REPORT" BROADCAST IN NOVEMBER 1980 ON KYW-TV PHILADELPHIA. "Let's forget all the rules of this great country we live in..." settle back into our recliner chairs and enjoy watching this historic piece of TV news sensationalism starring future posthumous "WWE Hall-of-Famers" former Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo and Anchor/Reporter extraordinaire Stan Bohrman. Rizzo died in 1991 at age 70 and Bohrman died in 1994 at age 63. Neither of their deaths had anything to do with this hair-raising confrontation. For the "movie trivia nuts" out there, Stan Bohrman played TV News Anchorman "Pete Martin" in the 1979 nuclear suspense thriller, "The China Syndrome" which starred Hollywood legends Jane Fonda, Jack Lemmon and Michael Douglas.

KYW 1100 Cleveland jingles!


These jingles were a Mark Century production used on the old KYW/1100 in Cleveland back in the late 50s. (They were re-released some time ago by the now-defunct KENR back in the turn of the century.) Many of these are Specs and Howard, Jerry G., Jim Runyon, Jay Lawrence, Jerry G and Jim Stagg. Successor station WTAM aired many of these jingles during a historical retrospective of the station back in 2003. (The logo, which was used from 1963 until 1965, is a modest recreation.)

KYW - Break, 1986


Let's do a rundown of the promos and spots, nearly all local: 1.) David Hasselhoff and Stephanie Kramer track down Jack The Ripper, who can apparently now time travel. If there is a list of bad TV movies I have to see, "A Bridge Across Time" surely tops it. 2.) Evening Magazine with a Joan Rivers profile, where she speaks of replacing Johnny Carson. (heh heh heh...) KYW wasn't exactly a well-funded or well-run station in 1985-86 and the graphics do show it. They also show the 3 next to the Proud N, which is unusual. (The 3 was VERY rarely used alongside any NBC logo.) 3.) Jerry Penacoli with the tease for what's coming up at 11. They've clearly gone to the "Turn To News" music and branding, but with nearly no on-screen graphics. Jerry mentions a blooper package; a similar one in the 2000s heavily milked the infamous Larry Mendte flooding blooper. 4.) Woolite. You make me feel brand new. 5.) A long Philadelphia Inquirer ad pimping the Sunday TV Week insert. It trumpets whopping 34 channel grids and a fancy-for-1985 VCR. Anyone know the voice? He did KYW-3 and Cartoon Network for a long while and he seems to voice nearly every negative campaign ad in the area. 6.) Gary Geers teases the Case Of The Shifty Sailor for The People's Court. Note the new time of 5pm, likely replacing news. Starting around the late 1980s, 3 and 10 only did half-hours at 5:30, ceding the full hour to Action News at the height of its dominance.

Promos for Bev's return showed her from behind, seeing only her back...while the voiceover said, "Beverly's back...coming soon to Eyewitness News...", thus the reference you'll hear that "Bev's back, and she has a face too!"

KYW News 3 -11pm - 1997


The look of News 3 was 3 years old by 1997, but the other news stations (particularly 10) had established far more aggressive looks. So KYW changed the music to a harder cut originally used on KYW's "Bulletin" newsmagazine, and added zooms to most of the graphics and opens. This made for a pretty disjointed news presentation. To be fair, though, a far more substantial and impressive change came a few months later, in time for the winter olympics. That change saw the reinstatement of "Eyewitness News". The top story here... obviously the passing of Richie Ashburn, the popular Phillies player and announcer. Hard to believe, Harry...
