In 1952, the year before Frantz's death, the [[NBC]] [[television]] series, ''The Big Story'' aired the episode "Dolph Frantz of the Shreveport Journal," with Frank Albertson (1909-1964) portraying Frantz.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2792234/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ql_cl|title=''The Big Story'': "Dolph Frantz of the Shreveport Journal"|publisher=Internet Movie Data Base|accessdate=January 6, 2022||</ref> However, there was no television station that had yet been established in Shreveport in 1952; so his compatriots could not see the program.
