Who will fill Regis Philbin's chair when he leaves Live! With Regis and Kelly? Plenty are tossing their name in the ring, and NY1's Pat Kiernan is one of them. Upon Regis's announcement that he would be leaving the show, HuffPo called Kiernan a "dark horse contender" to take his spot, and now the NY1 anchor tells NY Mag about his advantage over the competition, saying if the powers that be "turn off their cable box and turn it back on, it comes to NY1... if they do that in the morning, there I am. I need to sneak into the Time ­Warner Cable offices and find out if Kelly Ripa has [NY1]. If so, I hope she's a fan." more ›

On Monday evening, State Senator Eric Schneiderman (D-Manhattan), who is also one of the many Democratic candidates for NY Attorney General, left NY1's studios at the Chelsea Market in a car driven by a staffer, Rachel Kagan (who happens to be Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan's niece!).

Former NY1 reporter Adele Sammarco's claims that NY1 was a hostile work environment rife with sexual innuendo, questions about her sexual preferences, breasts and butt as well as harassment were rejected by a federal jury today. The Daily News reports, "The panel of seven men and one woman deliberated just 40 minutes on Thursday before delivering a verdict in favor of the cable news station." Sammarco alleged she was blackballed in media for complaining about the "locker room" antics at the station, while NY1 and parent company Time Warner said she was fired because she wasn't doing a good job. more ›

A psychologist testifying in the Adele Sammarco sexual harassment case said Sammarco was paranoid, narcissistic and maybe not a good reporter. Time Warner (NY1's parent company) lawyers paid Dr. Paul Nassar $500 an hour to evaluate Sammarco, and he concluded she believed "all of her claims were justified and had nothing to do with her, but had to do with the biases and prejudices of others." Nasser also said, "She fantasized about being a great reporter" and suggested she is suing because she's disappointed about her career. Sammarco brought the suit against NY1, claiming she had been sexually harassed by her coworkers. However, numerous coworkers have testified that she called other people derogatory nicknames and enjoyed jokes made at her expense. more ›

Ex-NY1 Reporter Adele Sammarco's sexual harassment case is getting stranger by the minute.

Upon hearing this, the Post reports that Sammarco ran out of the courtroom in tears. more ›

According to testimony from ex-NY1 reporter Jeff Simmons, Adele Sammarco—who claims she was sexually harassed at the news station—frequently talked about her breasts to coworkers. Simmons was the one who photoshopped the gag photo of Sammarco to get her back for covering his desk in toilet paper, and thought she would be fine with it because "Adele would talk to me so openly and candidly about her breasts," he told jurors. Instead, she is using it as proof that she was sexually harassed at the office. more ›

More is coming out about the work environment at NY1 now that former correspondent Adele Sammarco's sexual harassment suit has gone to court.

It would be safe to say, once or twice a week," said Dillon. more ›

On Wednesday, former New York 1 reporter Adele Sammarco testified that coworkers had suggestively edited footage of a technician trying to fix her zipper, adding in porn music and planning to air it at an office Christmas party.

The footage played for jurors in the sexual harassment trial simply showed Sammarco giggling at the anchor desk as a technician worked on her stuck pants zipper with pliers. more ›

In court yesterday to defend themselves against a sexual harassment lawsuit, executives and staffers at NY1 went on the offensive against a former employee who claims that the news station is run like "a high school boys' locker room." Reporter Adele Sammarco says she was fired three weeks after she complained about being groped by former reporter Gary Anthony Ramsay.

NY1's Senior Vice President Steve Paulus was more blunt. more ›

On his website, Pat's Papers, he posted some screenshots from his morning broadcast, writing, "My producers at NY1 let me wear my Team Canada shirt for the top of our sports report after our 3-2 gold-medal win over Team USA last night. But they got the last word with some on-screen graphics." more ›

Embattled ex-anchorman Dominic Carter has been released early from jail just as new reports come in that he was already arrested once, 13 years ago, for beating and choking his wife. Last month he was sentenced to 30 days for abusing his longtime partner Marilyn, who claimed he’d been using her as a punching bag since 2003. Now we know the episodes go back more than a decade, but she sill blames his behavior on the sad, sordid story of his childhood, revealed graphically this week in a NYMagazine piece. "Those demons that he's carrying around were turned on me," she said. more ›

Former NY1 political anchor Dominic Carter was released from jail 11 days early on good behavior. New York Magazine reports that the newsman was let out this week after serving 19 days of his 30-day sentence for attempted assault against his wife. Following a judge's orders, Carter—who hopes to appeal the verdict—must now attend domestic violence classes, receive "psychiatric treatment," and stay away from his wife for two years, a stipulation his attorney called "draconian." Because he isn't allowed home, Carter is reportedly staying with relatives in the city. "This is all behind me now," he said. "I'm writing a new chapter in my life." more ›

Former newsman Dominic Carter will serve his full 30-day jail sentence for abusing his wife, but his lawyers will continue to fight to clear his name. His attorney told the Post that "Dominic is confident that at the end of the entire legal process he will be exonerated" and that he decided against seeking bail as he awaits his appeal "in order to put this chapter behind him and immediately move forward with his life and career." The 45-year-old was locked up on Thursday for "punching, choking, and kicking" his wife during a 2008 dispute. On top of the jail sentence, Carter was ordered to stay away from his wife for two years "unless a psychiatrist assures the trial judge that the journalist is not a threat to her." His lawyer said the unemployed anchor plans to bring the case to a higher court "to raise multiple errors made by the [trial] judge that deprived Dominic Carter of a fair trial." more ›

He came for our cigarettes, he came for our sugar, but Bloomberg's new National Salt Reduction Initiative has got New Yorkers pissed. During NY1's "Political Rundown" last night, Guardian Angel Curtis Sliwa and co-host Gerson Borrero locked horns over the issue, which resulted in Sliwa pouring Morton's down his throat and declaring "You're gonna have to pry this salt out of my cold, dead hand." He keeps it in his mouth for at least a minute before most likely spitting it out, but either way, he's still alive. Watch the full video here. The salt clip starts around 9:10, complete with "nazi" accusations and Sliwa confusing Borrero for a Mexican. more ›
