There must be something about the morning shift at WABC. After just four days on the job as the permanent replacement for Steve Bartelstein, Ken Rosato, overslept and was late for the 5 a.m. edition of Eyewitness News. We think it is pretty safe to assume that he just overslept, since he probably hasn’t adjusted his body clock fully to the new hours, and that he wasn’t spending the night out clubbing like his predecessor.

Who put it on the Internet. Kerry Gonzalez, the 25-year old NJ man who posted the film on the Internet, pled guilty, giving Universal this victory in piracy matters.
