In April 2015, the New York City television station NY1 filed a open-records request for “unedited video files from the NYPD’s body camera program” captured during five specific weeks in 2014 and 2015. Four months later, the New York City Police Department agreed to review and release the footage—but only after NY1 paid a $36,000 “copying fee.” NY1 appealed the N.Y.P.D.’s decision and, in a letter dated September 16 of last year, was once again denied by the N.Y.P.D.’s deputy commissioner of legal matters.

NY1's loveable goofball reporter Roger Clark, on the scene this morning: "These are the guys that fight firefighters." Debonair anchor Pat Kiernan: "They fight fires, right?" The ensuing 40 seconds of chuckling miscommunication are classic. Never change, you guys.

Former NY1 reporter Adele Sammarco is suing the news station, alleging that an environment of sexual harassment ruined her career there. Her case was strengthened yesterday when a former colleague revealed her butt-related nickname. But: insiders have their doubts.

Reporters are tired of the Attorney General's late night, off the record phone calls, and want some face time. Cuomo doesn't seem to care what they think. So what are these reporters going to do about it?

A judge in Rockland County sentenced former NY1 anchor Dominic Carter to a month behind bars today for beating up his wife in 2008. Carter wasn't too happy with the decision.

Dominic Carter goes to court today to be sentenced for beating up his wife back in 2008. (He faces up to three months in prison.) But that's not the only thing he has to worry about. NY1 says that Carter's no longer employed by the station, so he's officially unemployed, too. [NYP]
