WABC has finally had enough of Steve Bartelstein after on-air spats with his co-anchors, a sexual harassment lawsuit, gossip about him clubbing, arriving late to work and sleeping through a news update last Thursday morning. As unexpected as the firing was, since he is co-anchor of the #1 rated morning and noon newscasts, the station seemed to expect problems since it is reported that in his contract signed last June that there would be......
