ABC News has reportedly fired meteorologist Rob Marciano following complaints about his behavior in the workplace. Sources familiar with the matter confirmed Marciano’s departure, marking the end of his decade-long tenure at the network.
While ABC News has not officially commented on the reasons for the firing, reports suggest that Marciano’s conduct had been a concern for some time. In 2022, he was reportedly barred from the “Good Morning America” studio due to an incident.
Marciano joined ABC News in 2014, becoming a familiar face on “Good Morning America” and other network broadcasts. His expertise in weather forecasting and engaging on-air presence made him a popular figure with viewers. Before joining ABC, he worked at CNN and local news stations.
The circumstances surrounding Marciano’s departure highlight the growing scrutiny of workplace behavior in the media industry. News organizations are increasingly under pressure to address allegations of misconduct and create a more respectful and inclusive environment for their employees. The firing comes as ABC News is preparing for coverage of the upcoming hurricane season, which can be a busy time for meteorologists. The role of the lead meteorologist at the network is now open.
