Larry Kane


In 1965 Larry Kane came to Philadelphia as an anchor for WFIL Radio and as main anchor for its sister station WFIL-TV, Philadelphia’s ABC affiliate. Kane was hired by the TV station’s news director, Mel Kampmann, as the primary anchor for the (then new) Action News format. Kane is credited with coining the phrase “The Big Story” at the top of Action News, something the station still uses to this day. He returned to Philadelphia in 1980 and joined WCAU-TV, then a CBS-owned station, as the primary anchor of Channel 10 News at 6 P.M. and 11 P.M. In 1993 he moved to KYW-TV, an NBC affiliate which became the new CBS station in Philadelphia in 1995. He also hosted a short-time weekly program produced by KYW-TV called The Bulletin with Larry Kane. Kane anchored the 6 P.M. and 11 P.M. newscasts at KYW until December 23, 2002.
