I'm not surprised if the story is true. I would bet it is. NY1 sucks! The news director should be removed. He's a real jerk for allowing unprofessional and unethical behavior. Its supposed to be a professional work environment not a hall of prostitution!

Not Neil Rosen

Adele may be a nutjob, but does that mean she can't be harassed? Can a prostitute be raped? As for GAR -- he may be professional, but I know he nailed MANY college interns at NY1. How professional is that? When it comes to women, I wouldn't put anything past him. BTW, the story is completely true. And no, I am not Adele.

I have watched nothing but New York One for years. Nothing else, New York One means everything to me. I am alone in here -

Shelley Goldberg - awful. Roger Clarke - crap. Lewis Dodley - shakes his head from side when he speaks...drives me mad. "Tech Beat" reporter (Adam Balkin?) is like a salesman from BestBuy. Defintely a few people there just because of their race, too. Horrid horrid horrid. When I go to London I cannot BELIEVE how much more professional the local news anchors/reporters are.

You know. Calm down. You sound like you need a tranquilizer yourself, Fork. My point is this: if she's lying GAR has a nice Defamation Of Character lawsuit to file. If she's telling the truth...what happens then? Does he get fired, fined, What? My bet nothing. She's spending alot to get nothing out of this. Why do this? Why sue? And despite all that, NY 1 management is greatly at FAULT--no matter what.

Actually Null IS NOT Adele. Nice try. See how on top of it you ARE?? Who's Fork? GAR??

Sat, 06 Jan 2007 12:40:06 -0500

OK Adele (since it seems that's who null is) First... I don't work there, I haven't for awhile. Second...It's a shame you've chosen Litigation over medication or psychiatric evaluation. Third...Don't forget YOUR reputation will come out in court too. I already know what the other women of NY1 think of you. Fourth...NEVER said NY1 was great. Finally...It seems you are still quite ILL. Good luck and remember ONE DAY AT A TIME.

Yeah..Uh ha... That all remains to be seen. In court. Then you'll see how great NY1 and its management it. And let's not forget your friend.

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 13:38:03 -0500

Then you don't really know them. He's a pig becuase he's Accused of something from a psycho??? I guess you want those DUKE boys burned at the stake too even though it seems UH OH It was all a lie!!! I guess birds of a feather flock together because that last post sounds Wacked TOO. What's funny is that most people in the local TV biz who have been around know both of them. And WE know Adele is a NUT while Ramsey is a pro.

null

Thu, 04 Jan 2007 08:37:39 -0500

Interesting. I know them both too. And if you can't get it to work it's because it DOESNT WORK. And you're right she's a woman and when women are harrassed it causes stress. She obviously didnt know how to handle things. And because of that may have acted like a wack job. Ramsey maybe funny on a man to man basis but that does not take away the fact that he's seedy and a pig.

Fork1

Tue, 02 Jan 2007 10:13:31 -0500

I worked with both Sammarco and Ramsey in the field. He's a funny, interesting person. She is a depressing Wackjob. If I had to choose who I was stuck on an island with.. it would be him. True.. she is a woman but I don;t think I could get it to work.

I highly doubt GAR is such a great guy.

Upper East

Thu, 28 Dec 2006 15:26:31 -0500

Wow Now there's a Harsh and totally innaccuarate comment. NY1 may not be the Best TV But Ramsey is FAR from Hard to look at. I saw him on the street with his family and he's HOT. In a real man way... Not some girlyman model Ken doll fake way. When he talks He's confident but calm. I'm so sick of the "anchorman" fake hype. Just talk to me. Anyway too bad he's caught up in this mess and still at NY1.

sam

Sun, 24 Dec 2006 17:54:03 -0500

I strongly disagree. Ramsey is horrible, Period. He's hard to look at as well as listen too. And that's the case for most of those low rate news reporters at NY1.

In Play

Sun, 24 Dec 2006 13:22:56 -0500

Ramsay is the BEST of the bunch. I watch him every morning. I don't why he's still there but he could be anywhere. I rememebr his war coverage a few years back I was suprised to see him there. NY1 is OK a mixed bag of rookies, wanna bies and vets. That Roger Clark now HE's Horrible.

toni

Sun, 24 Dec 2006 12:56:53 -0500

As far as I'm concerned, just about every reporter and anchor stinks in that place. Roma Downey is horrible. I would rather watch Adele that stiff ugly Roma. Gary Anthony Ramsey stinks too. But why is he still there? Sorry if she's a nut case, the rest are losers too. Big time losers. the channel is awful!

too much

Sat, 23 Dec 2006 13:40:16 -0500

What folks don't know is that Adele is an absolute NUTJOB. This is a 6 year old case. She has been through several lawyers one that asked to be taken off. She SUCKED as an anchor fill-in. Infact she drove the crews so crazy, that when her name popped up on the schedule...They would call in sick. She also constantly complained that Blacks (Ramsay and Wills) were only anchoring because of their race. She hasn't held a steady job since she left NY1. Geez Ramsay may have an edge and rub people the wrong way but he is good at what he does and is a professional. Not to mention the countless hours he spends of his own time working for charity. He is NOT a defendant is the case but was SMEARED nontheless and of course people believe what they read in the New York Post: defender of Dirty cops, George Bush and the war in Iraq.

I think NY1 is very "amateur hour." As for Pat Kiernan, I cannot understand a word he says. He mumbles and speaks too fast and has such an irritating accent. Lewis Dodley just drones. I think his lips are paralyzed. As for Shelley Goldberg: she sets my teeth on edge. She tries to talk like a little kid with that breathless, excitement, but she just sounds annoying! I also can't stand that smug, conceited Roma Torre. Feel better now I've got that off my chest. Been looking for somewhere to vent about this annoying channel! I watch it because it has the time and weather on the screen all the time, but I only watch it in snatches. They repeat the same old stories over and over and over!

yeah. Anchorman. sounds like Gary Anthony Ramsey!

Go Girl!

Tue, 12 Dec 2006 12:14:27 -0500

I hope Adele wins...NY1 sucks...they are the worst in the business...and Gary Anthony Ramsey is a definite creep!! He should be taken off the air. I dont blame her for going all the way with this lawsuit. Shame on Peter Landis or who ever was or in is in charge for allowing this to happen. It's management's fault for accepting immoral and inappropirate behavior in the newsroon. their lack of moral standards is equivalent to their TV production standards!

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 23:07:14 -0500

OK, I just have one more thing to say about NY1 (Obviously I spend too much time watching the channel)...Jill Scott (who does the Home reports) has to cut down on the bad puns and the use of the phrase "When it comes to..." -- as in "When it comes to vacuum cleaners..." You are guaranteed at least one bad pun per segment. It's really quite painful. If you don't believe me, check out some of her reports on 1110. Don't say I didn't warn you, though.

I saw Sandy Endo at the courts downtown in the summer. Boy is she a cutie. She was wearing a one piece sleeveless floral print dress.

Dirk Digler

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 19:42:24 -0500

The hottest NY1 reporters (IMHO): 1) Sandra Endo 2) Amanda Farinacci 3) Solana Pyne 4) Shazia Khan 5) Annika Pergament Agreed, Neil Rosen seems like a shill for certain movies and Shelly Goldberg is the fastest way to make one change the channel...

4 real?

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 18:54:17 -0500

Really? Russo's on the other team? Then her star just went up in my book. Here I am thinking she's WT B and T. You sure she ain't married?

Melissa Russo may be hot to you, but she plays on the other team. Damn.

Gwin

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 17:18:36 -0500

oh and I forgot to say: Neil Rosen is the WORST film critic! I used to work in the industry, and he was always the biggest ass - as if he were as important as Roger Ebert or something. He asks the stupidest questions (he once asked John Travolta, "are you happy...??") and I just want to throttle him whenever he lisps... Pretty sure he is a friend of whoever started NY1 (pre-Time Warner buyout).

Gwin

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 17:15:08 -0500

I love Pat, but Roger Clark is schlubby, goofy and unprofessional. But he's a walk in the park compared to the uber-annoying Shelly Goldberg!

Rob

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 16:34:59 -0500

@ NY1 Fan - Roger Clark is the worst. I'm convinced he's the nephew of some senior exec.

Being the every day evening anchor is different than a run-of-the-mill beat reporter/weekend anchor. Lewis Dodley (who I've met, he seems clueless and aloof) has a good gig there. Ramsey's situation is a lot different. People like Elizabeth Kaledin, Debby Feyerick, Andrew Kirtzman, Jonathan Dienst, Melissa Russo, and that hispanic chick anchor on NBC who got married and changed her name, all went on to bigger and better things. Gary Anthony Ramsay is a lifer in the same way they referred to Army lifers in the movie "Platoon." Not good.

yes it did in da papers

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 14:31:17 -0500

Yes it was on this morning's in the papers. and, I didn't understand a thing he was saying regarding the story. I think it was a roundabout way of saying, I work here and no comment.

frank

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 14:26:36 -0500

But did this Post story make Pat Keirnan's "in the papers" segment?

just saying

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 14:06:07 -0500

NY1? What's that? Does anyone really care? Whenever there's a major news event in NYC, the NY1 website is always the first to go down. Second rate operation, anyway.

not tru

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 13:52:13 -0500

not true there, Louis Dodley had been there forever and might I add a nice guy. I played a round of golf with him and three other singles at Mosholu. After the round was finished he asked if anyone was going into Manhattan because his shift was coming, back then their studios were on 42nd and tenth. Melissa Russo? damn, another bay ridge/staten islander?

Spud Spudly

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 13:46:10 -0500

Gary Anthony Ramsay is a NY1 lifer. Isn't the whole point of that place to work there long enough to get a real job somewhere else? Look at all the former NY1 reporters who are working for the networks right now. But not Gary -- he's been there since the day they opened the doors. BTW, Melissa Russo was the hottest.

ERIC

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 13:36:29 -0500

i don't know about you, but Gary Anthony Ramsey always struck me as being a sleazy pervert. and i don't even know him. but just watching him on NY1...yeah. this doesn't surprise me.

Adele Sammarco's breasts aren't that spectacular, her butt isn't that bootiful and She basically SUCKS at life.

for hire

Mon, 11 Dec 2006 11:50:48 -0500

I don't recall her being big breasted. You think she gave amanda faranicci a run for her money in the bra department? She got some bigguns. Is Adele from S.I. too, seems like all their reporters are from S.I. except from r. clark, he's from forest hills. I'm still waiting for roger to make that one wrong quip. He starts out being serious then adds in his comedic comments at the end. Those can get you in trouble. ie. the young howard stern racist comments when he came into the city to see what his old man does.
