The Week in Philly from KYW Newsradio

76ers new arena fight not over yet, two iconic Franklin Institute exhibits set to reopen, expert weighs in on new Instagram “Teen” accounts

The 76ers’ new arena on East Market Street a done deal? Not so fast. Even with Mayor Parker announcing this week her support for the project, and that an agreement between the NBA franchise and the city was in place, challengers to the plan are getting ready to take their fight to Philadelphia City Council. 

And while the 2024 presidential race remains front and center in a battleground like Pennsylvania, the state’s U.S. Senate race is shaping up to be a competitive one, despite what polling data might suggest. 

We also learn more about upgrades to a pair of iconic exhibits at the Franklin Institute, and how to combat mental health stigmas.

Host Matt Leon and KYW Newsradio’s reporters break down the biggest news in the Philadelphia region this week.
