What Happened To Rob Marciano?

You won't be seeing much of the weatherman on ABC anymore.

The atmosphere has been feeling quite frosty at ABC’s weather reporting department since late April after reports emerged that Rob Marciano had been fired from his senior meteorologist position.

Marciano joined ABC News in 2014 to report the weather on Good Morning America‘s weekend programs, taking over Ginger Zee who moved on to present the show during the week. He had also joined World News Tonight and ABC News’ digital livestreams. Before joining the network, Marciano worked for CNN and Entertainment Tonight.

According to several reports, the weatherman was fired after a heated argument with a producer. Per The Independent, this altercation was the last straw for the network after Marciano built a reputation as combative and difficult to work with.

Several outlets are reporting that Zee witnessed the incident and proceeded to communicate it to higher-ups who then decided to cut ties with the 55-year-old. According to The New York Post, the two weather reporters had been butting heads for a while.

Back in March 2023, Page Six reported that Marciano had been banned from Good Morning America‘s Times Squares Studios for nearly a year. The ban was a punishment for alleged “improper” behavior with a female colleague, an insider told the news outlet.

A source who worked closely with Marciano told People the reports of “anger management issues” felt like a “hit job.” Many different people told the magazine that the weatherman was a nice, welcoming, and supportive colleague.

Neither ABC News nor Marciano have issued any statements on the topic of the termination of his contract.
