Police say no one was hurt. Traffic had to be detoured after the large square panels fell off the facade around 7 a.m. Wednesday.

The six-story building until recently housed a French bistro on the first floor, and has offices and studios on the upper floors.

It's commonly called The Broadcast Building, because it was home to KYW-TV and The Mike Douglas Show in the 1960s.
City inspectors are investigating.
