KYW-TV3’s
Larry Kane has been one of the region’s most respected broadcast
journalists for more than 30 years. Throughout his life, he has
interviewed a virtual who’s who of newsmakers, hit the campaign trail
for every presidential election since 1973, and been on the spot during
breaking news events. Kane recently added
author to his list of accomplishments with the publication of Larry
Kane’s Philadelphia, a chronicle of the inside stories behind
in many of his interviews. His book is available from Temple
University Press.
Recognized
as a leading proponent in the fight against multiple sclerosis, Kane is
well known as co-founder of the National MS Society’s MS 150 City To
Shore Bike Tour. Thanks to his efforts, the tour is celebrating its 20th
anniversary and this year over 4,000 cyclists will pedal for a cure on
Saturday and Sunday, September 23 and 24. He is also Vice-Chairman of the
Board of Trustees for the Greater Delaware Valley Chapter of the National
MS Society.
