off former new york city tv news anchor ken rosato reporting for duty today you probably best remember

0:12.3

me from the 20 years i spent uh doing the morning show over channel seven and i worked even at

0:17.8

channel five some people some people still stopped me on the street and say weren't't you on good day? Yeah, about 100 years ago I was. Before they had TV, it was like two tin cans and a string. That's what I was on good day. But it was. I did do that for about a year. And these days I have the privilege of hosting a daily show on a New Jersey-based news channel. It's called On New Jersey.

0:38.4

They were the ones that brought you the first New Jersey governor debate of the season,

0:41.8

and we do a lot of news breaking there.

0:44.7

It's a New Jersey-wide channel, I think.

0:47.0

It's a only TV channel.

0:48.7

It's on the entire state.

0:50.3

You could also stream it live from anywhere in the country and rerun it also, the morning show that I do, at onnnj.com.

0:58.6

There is a lot to talk about today. Phone lines are open. Give us a call. Take part in the conversation. 1-800-3-2-1-0-7-10. Today we're going to hit the mayoral debate, of course. For those of you who are political junkies like myself, you couldn't wait for this day. This is a big one. So the mayoral debate, Momdani versus Cuomo versus Curtis. We'll see what happens tonight. It's from 7 to 9 on Channel 4.

2:00.4

which is pissing off the Democrats in a big way. They want the military not to get paid so that people

2:06.3

will get upset. But Trump always has a plan B. I think the Democrats won't figure this out
