According to multiple sources, Ken Rosato, a longtime news anchor of Eyewitness News This Morning on New Yorks WABC 7, was fired from his job at ABC7 after allegedly making an off-color remark. The incident happened off the air when he uttered the phrase, but it was picked up "on an open mic" and he was "immediately let go". Although the exact words he said are not clear, some sources speculate that it could have been a "racial slur". However, Rosatos representative denied this claim.
