As soon as Lynette Romero departed from the LA-area news station shere she served for more than 20 years, KTLA’s weekend anchor Mark Mester came out publicly and aired his views.

Mark Mester was fired from CW affiliate KTLA just days after criticizing station management for how they handled the resignation of Lynette Romero. Nexstar Media Inc., the station’s parent firm, announced Mester’s departure but declined to speak further.

According to sources, KTLA fired him on Thursday afternoon, barely over a week after the station revealed the resignation of his Weekend Morning News co-anchor, Lynette Romero.

The news station bosses have come under fire for how they announced Romero’s departure. Instead of letting Romero, a member of KTLA for nearly 24 years, say goodbye to viewers, KTLA had entertainment reporter Sam Rubin break the news during a 40-second piece on a weekday news show.

Mester’s firing follows his segment last Saturday, in which he apologized to viewers for the brief section announcing Romero’s resignation, calling it “unfortunate” and “inappropriate.”

Following her departure, Romero retweeted a message from a fan who stated that failing to give her a “real goodbye opportunity is a BAD look.” It didn’t take long for viewers to condemn the news, with some calling it “fishy” and “weird.”
