A few days ago, FTVLive told you that WTXF’s (Philly) Legal Analyst says he was fired from the Fox O&O because being “too pro-Black Lives Matter.”

Ken Rothweiler alleged that the station fired him after an ongoing back-and-forth with news director Jim Driscoll over some of Rothweiler’s social media stances that, according to Rothweiler, were deemed “too pro-Black Lives Matter and too anti-cop.”

Now, it appears that things are going to heat up even more at The Firm’s station in Philly.

Sources tell FTVLive that Rothweiler sent an email to station general manager Dennis Bianchi. The letter levels legal concerns identified after communicating with several people who shared similar stories.

Word is that Bianchi has not replied to the letter as of yet.

Sources also tell us that at least half a dozen former employees, who worked under Jim Driscoll's leadership have contacted the Philly Magazine with their story. It is said that Philly Mag is looking into the allegations.

Stay tuned, I have a feeling that the Summer is going to get a bit hotter at Fox Philly.
