Local New York anchor Ken Rosato was axed from ABC 7 for allegedly referring to his co-anchor Shirleen Allicot with a four-letter word, sources exclusively tell Page Six.

The longtime local “Eyewitness News This Morning” anchor was “immediately fired” after “he called her a c–t” on a hot mic, a source said.

Rosato was off the air when he allegedly uttered the word, we were told, but insiders previously said his remark was picked up “on an open mic” and that he was “immediately let go.”

A spokesperson for ABC replied with “No comment” when we reached out on Sunday.

Rosato’s rep would not confirm or deny that he referred to his colleague with the c-word.
