Philadelphia Mayor Frank Rizzo versus KYW-TV

Historic piece of TV news sensationalism starring 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.

The name Frank Rizzo was used by the Jerky Boys to play a hard ass in prank phone calls.
