He left WCBS in April 2000 after a contract dispute and joined rival station WNBC-TV, where he co-anchored the 5pm newscast ("Live at Five") with Sue Simmons.
In June 2007, he and Dana Tyler were reassigned to the noon and 6pm newscasts at WCBS by new station managers.
In May 2008, the station's management decided to let him go as the noon and 6PM newscaster as a part of major CBS budget cuts across the owned station division (political reporter Andrew Kirtzman was let go in March; Roz Abrams was let go for similar reasons in 2006).
[2] In September 2013, Rosenfield was asked by the NBC station division to join WCAU-TV in Philadelphia as weeknight anchor at 4, 6, and 11 p.m. On December 8, 2022 it was announced by WCAU-TV that Rosenfield would be leaving the station after 9 years to "be closer to home and pursue new opportunities."
He will be moving back to New York to be closer to family, but has not made any specific announcements as to his future career plans.
