Steve Edwards, the morning anchor of Fox’s Los Angeles-based KTTV station, has been let go by the news channel.
“We can confirm that Steve Edwards is no longer employed by KTTV,” a network representative said Monday in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. The longtime anchor was reportedly fired after allegations of sexual harassment were made against him, according to a report from FTV Live. The site also first broke that KTTV news director Kris Knutsen announced Edwards’ dismissal on Monday to the channel’s staff.
Edwards has been a co-anchor for the channel’s morning show since 1995, and a presence on Los Angeles-area television for longer. He has worked for KABC and KCBS in addition to KTTV. Edwards also has hosted the national version of Good Day LA and Good Day Live.
