What Happened to Ken Rosato? What Did Ken Rosato Say?

2023 seems to be the unlucky year for media anchors. Within a few months, some of the most renowned moguls of media companies have been fired. On Friday, May 13, Ken Rosato also joined the list.

You might know Ken Rosato as the morning anchor from WABC-TV. Starting as a reporter in the early 2000s, he worked various jobs as a radio host, news director, and anchor. In 2007, Rosato transitioned into being an anchor and joined Eyewitness News This Morning and Eyewitness News at Noon.

Rosato has even won an Emmy Award for reporting a steam pipe explosion that happened in July 2007 in New York. Ken was thus a rising star in media companies and was exploring his range as an anchor, making the news of his firing come as a shock.

Let’s find out what caused ABC to fire such a consistent anchor in one strike.

Why Was Ken Rosato Fired?

Why Was Ken Rosato Fired

Ken Rosato, the anchor of Eyewitness News This Morning, was fired on account of making an undisclosed comment. When Rosato uttered the phrase, the show was not on air, but it was caught on an open mic.

He was immediately fired with no notice period or even a discussion. Even Rosato’s colleagues learned about the situation after he was already fired. Apparently, his colleagues were brought in one by one to discuss with management, but none were informed of the comment that caused the mayhem. Even Rosato’s bio was wiped from the company’s website moments after his discharge.

The manager at ABC sent an email to all the staff members detailing Rosato’s dismissal. After dedicating 15 years to ABC, the anchor’s layoff comes as a shock. The email mentioned, “We thank him for his years of service,” but nothing regarding the causation.

What Did Ken Rosato Say?

An insider reported that a racial slur might have gotten Ken Rosato fired, but Rosato’s representative firmly denied it.“Being fired for any racial slur is 100 percent inaccurate and untrue. Ken Rosato had a benchmark of 20 years at WABC of supporting all equality.”

The Internet has been plunged into turmoil as no one knows what got Ken Rosato fired. The severity of the phrase must have been tremendous to cause Ken to lose his job of 15 years.

Okay but what exactly did Ken Rosato say that he was fired on the spot? I need to know

Fans of Rosato are inflamed and claim to boycott ABC for this unnecessary move, especially for not disclosing what actually happened, suspecting foul play.

ABC News has made no comments on the matter, and things are being kept under wraps. Ken himself has not been directly addressed regarding his termination.

Me and my mother on the phone 6am tryna figure out what Ken Rosato said to get fired…

So far, several well-known names from news companies have been fired this year. Carlson Tucker, the American host of Tucker Carlson Tonight, was fired by Fox News with no public statement regarding the decision.

CNN also fired Don Lemon in late April because of his misogynistic comments. His colleagues did not want to co-host with him, and even guests were unwilling to appear on his show.

All these instances show just how delicate one’s position is in media companies. While some hosts indeed deserved what they got, a few might have become victims to a broader scope.

Were you also a regular viewer of Ken’s Eye Witnesses? Now that the anchor has been let go, are you planning to continue watching the program? Tell us how you felt about the decision in the comments below.

    Not indicating EXACTLY why Ken Rosato was let go does a disservice to us, the viewers. I always enjoyed Ken’s personality, friendliness, and the camaraderie of the ABC morning team and it was the only morning news I watched. That may be over now…

    Well, GOOD BYE ABC NEWZZ-Firing Ken and acting like LIBERAL/P&V ASSHOLES about it will send me and others i know to a NEW channel of choice! Make sure your ADVERTISERS all know fewer people will watch your channel and lastly, hope the INCUBISS’ General Mgr gets the duct tape off his/her mouth and report EXACTLY what was said!!!

    Ken is the consummate professional, extremely knowledgeable and smart. One of the best NYC anchors.

    I decided not to watch eyewitness news anymore sick and tired of their holy than thou attitude why not a suspension will miss Ken Rosato just as much as I miss Amy & TJ for being human

    It sounds like ABC execs were watching and waiting for a misstep. He probably said ABC is as biased and racist as they come, and ABC can’t let that secret escape, so they lowered the boom. Another good reason to move another channel. Stopped watching GMA years ago for their biased reporting, but always stayed with morning news, until now, that is. What a shame for ken, but now he can move to greener pastures, perhaps in Florida where he vacationed a lot. ABC’s loss. But they don’t care.

    I will miss Ken very much for him be fired for saying something off camera would have be seriously bad , I doubt he did say anything that bad, maybe ABC is over reacting to save money. Especially if wasn’t directed towards a coworker firing someone is over the top.

    It’s ridiculous that you would fire someone for something he said. You can promote Al Sharpton and AOC, and all of the other race baiters on your programs. Time to change the channel.

  12. Michael G on May 15, 2023 7:06 am

    If I don’t get an explanation Monday am then I’m off to another channel

  13. Jeff Conocchioli on May 15, 2023 5:11 am

    I think it”s awful what they’ve done to Ken Rosato especially when it’s unclear what he said and also it was said off air.
    This man is a class act and deserves so much better. It sounds like it could be a case of reverse racism and sexism seeing how the president of ABC and the station manager are both minority women. I refuse to watch anything on WABC t v. until this matter is resolved in Mr.Rosato’s favor

  14. Elaine Dombrowski on May 15, 2023 4:28 am

    Loved this morning news show. Without Ken Rosato, I’m going elsewhere. And, so are many viewers. BAD MOVE, ABC.

    No will not watch without Ken Rosado because of the way it was done.
