ONNJ Mornings with Ken Rosato – Thursday, August 6 2026
Join Ken Rosato every morning at 7AM for the best of New Jersey news, talk and weather. Today on ON New Jersey Mornings, Ken covers the latest national headlines, from a Florida pastor accused of sexually abusing a teenager and a teen detained in connection with a fatal Illinois stabbing to a man accused of impersonating security at President Trump’s golf course and the confirmation of a new CDC director. We also look at a new Disney and TikTok partnership, a salmonella outbreak linked to Chipotle, tariff refunds for businesses, and a small plane that made an emergency landing on a Florida highway. In New Jersey, we examine cyberattacks targeting two municipal water systems, a grand jury decision not to charge a New Brunswick police officer in a fatal shooting, a lifted boil water advisory, proposed statewide spring break dates, Frank Sinatra’s former family home in Hoboken, and efforts to save Westwood’s historic “Kissing Tree.” Plus, we speak with author Nigel Roberts about grief and resilience, explore Illumination 250’s giant puppet workshops, discuss grief education in New Jersey schools, preview the 9/11 Memorial & Museum’s new digital learning experience, and celebrate 100 years of Toufayan Bakeries.
