A longtime New York City news anchor who was fired from the local ABC affiliate after he allegedly called his co-host a ‘c***’ once worked as a priest in Florida.
Ken Rosato, 56, was fired earlier this month, after making crass comments towards his co-anchor Shirleen Allicot that were caught on a hot mic.
He worked in a church in Hollywood called the Saint Anthony of Padua Catholic Community while he was pursuing a journalism career.
The church was started in October 2000 by a small group of Catholics in the local area but Rosato later moved to New York City in 2003 to take up a role as a freelance reporter.
He is yet to comment on his dismissal and WABC did not respond to request for comment.
