A famed innovator, Bohrman pioneered the use of the 'Magic Wall' during CNN's election night coverage.
Born in 1954 in Los Angeles, Bohrman was the son of Delle, a television writer and Stan, a TV news anchor on CBS KPIX in San Francisco. Stan Bohrman made his mark in television news through KPIX’s use of “Instant Eye” feature, the at-the-time groundbreaking introduction of live camera remotes. “The Instant Eyes, which were live remote cams, it opened up a whole new world of news coverage for the city,” Bohrman said in an interview in 2018.
Bohrman studied at Stanford University and then at Columbia University. While at Stanford, he interned at his father’s station. His first job out of college was at CBS News, working as a producer on the local station KNXT from 1978 to 1980. He then went to work at ABC News, staying with the company until 1993. During Bohrman’s time at ABC News, he was an original staffer on the Ted Koppel-frontedand rose to become an executive producer at the network.
In 1993, Bohrman moved to NBC News, where he worked as an executive producer on special events. Bohrman worked closely with the network’s star anchors Tom Brokaw and Brian Williams and his purview included live and breaking news coverage. Bohrman joined CNN in 1998, his first stint at the cable news network lasting two years. He was a producer on CNNfn, the now-defunct financial channel, and helped createwith Lou Dobbs. In 2000, he left CNN to become CEO of Pseudo Programs, dubbed the world’s first interactive streaming TV network, but the venture failed as the tech industry was on swan dive due to the dotcom bubble bursting.
During the 2008 presidential election, Bohrman’s innovative streak continued when he introduced the ‘Magic Wall’ into CNN’s election coverage. Now a staple of election nights in TV news studios around the world, CNN’s Magic Wall was an interactive real time display that updated with election information. “His decision to take then just emerging touch-screen technology and integrate [it] into our 2008 election coverage was nothing short of revolutionary.
