Ken Rosato was fired from WABC-TV in May 2023 after a reported hot-mic incident involving an offensive remark about a co-worker. He later resurfaced in media roles, including joining a New Jersey livestream news channel in 2025.

What happened

Reports say Rosato was dismissed after an off-air comment was accidentally captured on a live microphone, which led to immediate termination. The exact wording was widely reported by outlets, but Rosato’s representatives denied allegations that it involved a racial slur.

Where he is now

By January 2025, Rosato had joined On New Jersey, a 24/7 livestream news channel, where he was set to help launch a morning news show. That suggests he continued his broadcasting career after leaving WABC.
