Back in March, WABC anchor Steve Bartelstein was fired from the morning and noon local newscasts after a series of incidents, including arguing with co-anchor and missing broadcasts. In today’s Post, Bartelstein, now freed from contractual restrictions about speaking out, tells Cindy Adams that he has been suffering from testicular cancer and is undergoing treatments.
He told the Post columnist, “Doctors say this had long been in my system. I'm not one to complain nor say anything disparaging. But it's possible my weariness at work was the result of this illness. I'd been showing extreme fatigue for a period of time. Even while I was still on-air, my mother said, 'I notice you're lethargic these days.' "
He does hope to be back on air, even if hairless from cancer treatments, and said that CBS made overtures to him on the day he was fired.

Never heard of him. Is he Jewish?
Gee, that's fascinating. You know, it was just the other day that I was thinking, "Hmmmm, I wonder what Steve Bartelstein is doing?"
ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz..........
okay...should i be the one who says it?
elephant in the room...
the pic of manhole fires? i mean come on...
that's such a bad choice of a pic given that he's gay...
btw no flames plz i'm gay as can be myself...
#3 - Whatever, the dude's got balls. Hopefully they'll be back to full health soon.
You're very subtle Toby ;). I take it that pix of him was very intentional since you guys left out that ugly business of the man-on-man stalking/harassment lawsuit.
@CR - I'm guessing that was sarcasm because he might go ball-less real soon.
Jeez, when your go-to exculpatory quote has to come from your mother, you know you've burned a few too many bridges.
Toby von Meistersinger .... ru serious? What kind of name is that?
wow, great excuse! next time i'm caught dozing at my desk, i'm going to blame it on a nasty tumor on my nut sack!
GOOD LUCK TO STEVE. HIS PERSONAL IS HIS OWN. HE WAS GOOD AT HIS JOB AND HAD GREAT CHEMISTRY WITH THE MORNING TEAM...
So ball cancer makes you extra sleepy and staying out all night in the gay bars doing crystal meth doesn't.
i loved him on abc and the broadcast from 5am-7am has never been the same without him. i would watch wherever he went
