<h2>Career</h2>

<p>Ken replaced news anchor Steve Bartelestein in 2007 after Bartelestein was fired for sleeping while at work. The management had no other option left other than to fire Steve who chose to sleep instead of discussing the critical Bronx Fire issue after the newsbreak. This incident proved how important Eyewitness is for the network. Steve and <a href="/biography/lori-stokes">Lori</a> were the ones who improved the dwindling ratings of the Eyewitness News program back in the 2000's.</p>

<p>WABC-TV conducted a four-month search for another "Eyewitness News This Morning" co-anchor before awarding the spot to Ken Rosato. Rosato, who had been outsourcing at Ch. 7 since 2003, was set to take over authoritatively as an anchor of the morning and early afternoon newscasts nearby <a href="/biography/lori-stokes">Lori Stokes</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Evans_(meteorologist)">meteorologist</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Evans_(meteorologist)">Bill Evans</a>.</p>

<p>Ch. 7 news director Kenny Plotnik told the Daily News, "We think he's the right fit for our morning. He brings personality, maturity, a sense of humor, and, most importantly, journalistic credibility." Rosato filled a space that has been open since <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bartelstein">Steve Bartelstein</a> was terminated in March. Since <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Bartelstein">Bartelstein</a> left, the station has filled his space with a few Ch. 7 staff members, including <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Torres_(journalist)">Joe Torres</a>, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Rossen">Jeff Rossen</a>, <a href="/biography/michelle-charlesworth">Michelle Charlesworth</a>, and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Colagrossi">Lisa Colagrossi</a>. Rosato, a former <a href="/biography/ken-rosato">anchor</a> for WNYW/Ch. 5, stood apart when he got in the seat close to Stokes.</p>

<p>In February 2006, while doing a live segment for the morning news, Rosato and his team were somewhere around a tractor trailer. The scene unfurled on-air, startling watchers and the anchor group but Rosato was fine. Plotnik said he was not shocked by Rosato's comfort level at the anchor work area during the tryout time frame. He knew that Rosato would be ready for the task.</p>
