Sources confirm to @NYNewser and @Ny_NewsObserver that well-known Eyewitness News chopper reporter Dan Rice was let go from WABC a few weeks ago. Rice has been a reporter from the station's helicopter, NewsCopter7, since joining the WABC team in 2009, after a decade at rival WNBC in Chopper4 and two years at WCBS in Chopper2. While at WABC, Rice could be seen daily on the noon newscast and as a fill-in morning and evening reporter. During his run at WABC, Rice covered many breaking news stories for New York's number one station, from the daily traffic jam to airplane crashes.
Rice was unavailable for comment late Wednesday evening.
