ABC7 Anchor Ken Rosato Fired Over Offensive Comment.
Ken Rosato, the veteran morning news anchor for WABC/7, has been fired over an offensive comment made over a "hot" mic. The comment did not go out on Ch. 7's air, but was picked up by the microphone and heard by others in the studio. Rosato had directed a sexual expletive at his co-anchor Shirleen Allicot. He was fired immediately afterward "for cause," and the station announced his termination internally on Friday.
