One-Time New York Anchor Steve Bartelstein Fired in Chicago
For anchor Steve Bartelstein, his career has ridden highs and lows. Unfortunately, in recent years, those highs have been few and far between.
Bartelstein is out as morning co-anchor at WBBM-TV after only 10 months, a station spokeswoman confirmed to FishbowlNY.
His last day was Friday.
While it’s not certain what led to Bartelstein’s demise, he’s no stranger to what some perceive as bizarre behavior.
In 2007, Bartelstein was axed from WABC/Channel 7 after sleeping through his scheduled newscast.
He resurfaced at WCBS/Channel 2 six months later.
